> homelessness is not caused by high house prices
For what it's worth, 70% of SF's homeless population lived in SF in homes before they were on the street. It's probably fair to assume that if rents were lower, more of those people would still be in homes.
- chrinic726 9y agoNot everyone is entitled to live in San Francisco. You are either (1) rich and are able to live in SF or (2) you are a recent college grad making $80K, will eventually be forced to return to your home state or continue downgrading your housing situation untill homelessness ensues (I've talked to many homeless individuals and many do have a college degree).
