Yes, because obviously Houston has just as big a problem as SF.

Of course, not all cities experience homelessness at the same rate. However, Houston is in the top 25 cities for the total number of homelessness.
In sprawling cities like Houston you can also just not see that area of town. In a dense place like SF, it's harder to avoid.
Houston is the fourth biggest city in the country. If it’s only in the top 25 for some bad metric, that’s great news.
Yes, I agree. Despite Houston being one of the top cities in the US for homelessness, they have a slightly lower rate of homelessness than the US average. However, their homelessness rate is higher than the Texas average.
