That 15m number may be true, but it doesn't mean what it seems.

It's mostly homes that are between occupants. A tenant or owner moves out, and it takes a few weeks or months for someone new to move in.

It's also homes in depopulated town where there are not enough jobs anymore.

Neither is a practical source of housing for the homeless in SF.

Citation strongly needed.

I'm not sure I need to explain what happens when people move to a depopulated area?
