Story also does not mention that voters in SF literally voted last November to confiscate tents from homeless people (Prop Q) and failed to pass $50M/yr funding that would've provided housing (Prop K).

there are examples of people doing that in there. But ultimately, it is not a problem that can be solved by charity. Charity helps on the margins. But it's deeper than that. We're actually going in the opposite direction. Corporate tax cuts will make LIHTC less useful.
