Yeah, I'm aware. In one of my comments here, I link to a piece I wrote with a title along the lines of "I believe California is the dumping ground for the nation's homeless."

We have a nationwide shortage of affordable housing. The fact that the homeless flock to someplace temperate and relatively dry with soup kitchens and such in no way changes my point: Money cannot buy what does not exist to be bought. Anywhere in the US.

We need to fix our housing supply issues. We need to fix it across the nation, not just in SF. SF is suffering disproportionately, but my point stands: Throwing money at the homeless won't fix this. The solutions they need aren't out there. They need to be built.
