The ignorance around housing policy is unfortunate. It is actually not complicated: zoning vs. population determines the number of homeless, income distribution determines who they will be. Changing the latter will literally not change the number of homeless people at all.
Sadly, liberal-leaning cities seem the most likely not to rezone, probably due to other political concerns they have (dislike of builders, environmental protection, etc.?), and so you end up with cities that profess to care the most about homelessness having the worst :(

Which is again why it's important for people to become educated on this subject, because they might end up supporting different policies if they stopped blaming pricing and started blaming supply.

These factors are important too of course but there are others that correlate much better with the sharp doubling of housing prices in certain gateway cities in the last 8 years. Things like capital flight from China.
