Apologies for the late response. I didn't mean to imply that it is easy being homeless in SF, only that it is in my experience easier relative to other parts of the country. Again, being homeless in SF sucks and is very difficult, but it sucks less than being homeless in Orange County, or Tampa, or many other parts of the country. I'd also add that solving the problem isn't simply a matter of throwing money at it, although that may be a better alternative than not putting any money towards it. I've seen figures cited that SF spends well over $100 million on homeless issues. Building housing specifically targeting the low income and homeless population, rather than increasing density overall, also doesn't seem like a winning solution. I believe the average BMR unit built by the city of SF ends up costing the city around $700k-$800k per unit.
