Homeless being caused by a lack of homes doesn't really will out. The people camping on the side of the road don't have a downpayment and good paying job who could afford a house if only they existed because zoning is bad. The causes of homelessness is well understood now. The problem comes from ideology, not only is the fix ideologically opposed, the cause is ideologically imposed. Homelessness after many years or no growth or even the situation getting better started rising in 2014. LA county homelessness was roughly 40,000 in 2011, dropping in 2012, rising slightly for 13, 14. Overall pretty flat for several years straight. Then suddenly a huge increase in 2014. Basically rising every year since. https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-homeless-point-in-time-count-qa-housing-20190604-story.html https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ln-homeless-p... So we know it's a policy that changed in 2014 and has been making the situation worse every year. A policy which hadn't been changing prior to 2014 but also a policy that is getting worse every year. https://foreignusa.com/california-state-minimum-wage/ https://foreignusa.com/california-state-minimum-wage/ Greece fell into this trap as well. You think you are doing a good thing with the best of intentions. Instead of helping people earn more, you are in fact creating homelessness.
