Despite money and effort, homelessness in SF as bad as ever
A huge, unmentioned part of the problem is that SF has settled on housing policies that makes low-end housing unavailable or unaffordable. The people who can only afford to live in a single-room occupancy aren&#x27;t going to magically disappear when you restrict the number of SROs available. They&#x27;re going to go onto the street.<p>Yes, it&#x27;s bad that someone can only afford a 60 square foot room to live in. The solution isn&#x27;t to make it illegal to let out a 60 square foot room to them, or to force market-rate housing to subsidize a few lucky winners.
