I don’t think parent was making a comment about real estate prices. Obviously the market tolerates the issue.

Some parts of SF have gotten pretty bad. I volunteered at a couple places and honestly was surprised at how little effort is going into fixing things, so I’d expect the present situation to continue.

If San Francisco is like Seattle, significant efforts are being made, they are just completely ineffective. When you try to treat a national problem locally, adding 1000 homes for 20k homeless people just means you’ll have people in those 1000 homes but now 21k homeless people next week.
