Homelessness in SF isn’t actually exploding, it’s getting more visible because development (to accommodate the labor force boom!) is steadily chipping away at the “out of sight, out of mind” areas where tent cities used to hide. Such sites receive most/all development because the NIMBYism and anti-gentrification activism are so much stronger in populated areas.
