> homelessness is not caused by high house prices

For what it's worth, 70% of SF's homeless population lived in SF in homes before they were on the street. It's probably fair to assume that if rents were lower, more of those people would still be in homes.

Source? SF's official stats have most of their homeless coming from outside of the city/county altogether with their sole SF "residence" being shelters and/or outdoors.
