Today is a sad day. Federal homeless counts, done once every other year, all across the Bay Area have reached staggering highs.
At more than 8,000 people, San Francisco now has the highest numbers since the Willie Brown-era, or right around when @gavinnewsom took office.https://twitter.com/hknightsf/status/1129155331689332736 …

Rachael MyrowVerified account @rachaelmyrowNobody in#SanJose could fail to notice: The just released point-in-time count for 2019 shows the number of#homeless people in the Bay Area's largest city has spiked dramatically — 42% in two years. “It’s a systems failure.” -@jenloving23 of@dstnhome| https://buff.ly/2W2O0D5 pic.twitter.com/SQzkewGVtF3 replies 17 retweets 43 likesShow this thread -

The number of jobs skyrockets, the number of homes doesn’t. Don’t need a Nobel in economics to know how that turns out. The homelessness programs in the Bay Area are some of the best and most innovative around but they can’t make up for this kind of housing policy

this wouldnt be a serious issue if you had robust social housing, directly provided by the city/state, like many European cities still have[though reducing].

Our California state constitution effectively prevents public housing in many parts of the state.https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1092544201550528512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1092599118738841600&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsf.curbed.com%2F2019%2F2%2F5%2F18212278%2Fscott-wiener-racist-affordable-housing-constitution-repeal-law …
