Do you really believe homeless people will suddenly become not homeless if you build more houses? What are you going to do, give them to them?

Building more houses will do just one thing, let more people live there, which means more people will move in, maybe rents go down a little for rich programmers, and the homeless will stay homeless.

But yeah, please do complain both about feces in the streets and homeless people and taxes at the same time.

Building more homes is a “necessary but not sufficient” condition. @buss is also campaigning for more funding for affordable housing, but all the funding in the world is not worth squat if it’s not legal to build the homes.
