I'm happy to see this here. As someone who has studied this problem space, I believe that housing supply issues are a major root cause of homelessness in the US.
I don't think there's any conspiracy, just a lack of solid understanding of the problem. I think we are "victims of our own success" in that I think our last housing crisis was solved by the birth of modern suburbs and this made the single family detached house designed for a nuclear family our default standard and trying to emulate that or improve on that has gone weird and unhelpful places.
But thrilled to see an article connecting homelessness to housing supply issues rather than the tired trope of "They are all junkies and crazies."
