This is a poor comparison because nobody is claiming homeless doesn’t exist. If you had said “as oil barons will claim oil isn’t the cause of the climate crisis” that would be better. It’s also better because like fossil fuel burning literally damages the environment, lack of affordable homes in an area is literally the cause of homelessness. But that is a useless point, of course more homes would fix the issue but to what end, are you going to build enough homes so everybody who wants to live in the Bay Area can? Obviously not, so there will still be homelessness. “Just build more houses!” Not being an actual answer is the point

Obviously not, so there will still be homelessness. “Just build more houses!” Not being an actual answer is the point This is a strawman argument. There will always be homelessness because there will always be people that prefer to be homeless. Building more homes will reduce a significant amount of homelessness that exists due to structural reasons.
