  This would make sense if "number of homeless people sleeping in a registered shelter" was in any way a useful statistic. Without a denominator, such as number of available shelter beds, and other data such as where are the shelters in relation to clusters of homeless people... it can tell a lot of different stories. There are millions of variables that inform "the homeless problem" and isolating a pretty minor one -- political affiliation of a single politician in the nation's largest city, overseen by both state and federal governments -- just strikes me as really simplistic.
