Every single one of the cities with large homeless populations have absurdly high housing costs.

All the people in this thread are refusing to acknowledge that may play some causal factor because the solution might involve slightly lowering their property values.

Martha's Vineyard, Malibu, both Hamptons etc have even higher housing costs yet no homeless. It appears you've found a correlation without causation.
I think we saw recently why Martha's Vinyard has little or no homeless
Yeah, it turns out the government's will to enforce the law trumps the RE cost w.r.t vagrancy.
