Right. Now imagine you live in one of those cities. You're living comfortable as an engineer, etcetera. You have a community going on. Your city has its budget, its school system and so on. The city wants to allow permits to build as many houses as it can to drive the low enough to make them affordable for the homeless. Bear in mind you live in a very attractive part of the country, so homeless will be driven out of the market very quickly. That's a LOT of units. There are only limited public resources, and they can expand only so fast. If you care even a bit about community around the place you live, you know having tens/hundreds of thousands of people (who are likely not going to be long-time residents) moving straight in couple of years is not a good idea. You're going to vote against the city granting those permits. One would rather the city build low-income housing then let the swamped by new transplants.
