Even assuming this is true, that doesn't make the article insulting. Myths about how housing does not follow supply and demand affect homelessness even more, but that doesn't make the person spreading these myths morally wrong.

That’s a nice out for anyone who gets caught lying. “I didn’t think it was morally wrong to repeat lies.”

You can be affected by something and not care about it. You can be affected by things you don't even know about, like the way regulations shape the houses we can live in.
