"HDI has a total of 403 apartments in Helsinki and the neighbouring city of Espoo." Wikipedia says that the city has a population of about 643 thousand, so there is one apartment per 1600 of population. San Francisco should then provide around 550 apartments. What sort of dent does that make in the San Francisco homeless problem? The BBC article mentions housing the formerly homeless with families and friends, and I have to think this makes up a pretty large part of the housing. It seems to me that this must require a degree of something in between persuasion and coercion.
