NIMBYs aren't causing homeless problems.

"I don't want affordable apartments or housing in my backyard because it lowers my property value" is a pretty clear amplifier of homelessness.
You do realize that normal people who can't afford a city will just move to a cheaper area right?
Cool.

Who staffs your stores when everyone moves away? Who mows the lawn? Who builds the houses?

That's not at all incompatible with what I said though, right?
