But as you know there are only 3-4 cities where this is a meaningful issue.
If you federally subsidize homeownership to upper middle class households at a time when real wages for the median household haven’t moved for 40 years, and you throw token dollars at the flip side of that policy, rising homelessness is a consequence of that.

Homelessness is not really ideally funded or taxed at the municipal level since there’s regional/local sorting among people who receive services and then also among the entities/people that are taxes to provide those services.

You can see it in SF and the Bay Area, where the city ends up bearing the cost burden for all the surrounding suburban areas that deliberately don’t fund homelessness services
