<|begin_of_text|><|begin_of_text|><|begin_of_text|>Nearly 50 years of protests, lawsuits and ballot battles over low-income housing have made San Francisco a nationwide model for efforts to keep urban America from becoming home to only the very rich or the very poor, according to a paper that will be<wm> presented at the next annual meeting of the Association of American Urban Land Institute (AALI). In the city where there are some 100,000 homeless shelters and just over 45,000 residents, the city is trying to keep them for the rest of their natural lifespan -- meaning all 77 of them -- from becoming a permanent fixture of the city's housing stock.
What does this suggest of our moral duty as members of society? We are in each other's way, and instead of working for</wm> a comprehensive and sustainable solution, we are making life more expensive than ever, in all its forms.
