Disclaimer: I have read the Economist article but not the book it appears to synopsizing/marketing. It doesn't seem like trying to simplify challenges in large cities to a single dimension like housing is a path to success. Basic needs and social services beyond housing go a long way in supporting people, which (sadly) can't be provided by just addressing a housing shortage/affordability gap. It's worth taking a look at the SF Point in Time and Housing Inventory Counts data [1] to provide context on this conversation.
