Economic Homelessness is caused not by economics, but by government policies
The CA Housing crisis, and extreme pricing inflation are all a direct result of government restrictions on new housing construction, and government regulations that make new housing more expensive to create
>>It's not like politicians invent solutions on their own.
yes they do... all the time
The cheery pick data, or just make up their own data to fit the narrative they want
>> government policies informed by economists following the rules of "basic economy"
You have proof of this?
The polices in CA on housing are not economic, they are a 3 legged combo of
1. Wealth protection. people like it when the house they own goes up in value 15% YoY . and dislike it if it drops. Even if over 5 years a person home went up 10% every year, then 1 year dropped 3%, they would be EXTREMELY pissed about the 3% and vote out the government that caused it. Thus a heavy incentive to ensure housing ALWAYS increases in cost
2. Environmentalism gone extreme.. Every housing plot has some endangered beetle that just must be saved
3. NIMBY preventing higher density housing, and creating minimum house sizes that are basically McMansions
None of which are economic or economists recommended
You're asking if I have proof that governments are assisted by teams of experts? Just learn how modern administration works.

The housing issue exists in pretty much every civilized country except those that invested heavily in public housing. It would be surreal if most governments of the G20 didn't know the rules of basic economy.
