Homelessness is something that could cost local government $billions to solve. Look at it purely as a financial matter.
The cost of building a new property X potential income of that property / the amount the potential market can sustain.
London has reached a point in many areas that there's no way the potential market can afford to pay the costs of building, maintaining a property, so tax payers are left paying for the properties. With an ever increasing demand there's no chance of selling and recouping the initial investment.
Is the situation the same in San Francisco, Los Angeles, & Seattle? If so the upper middle class, who are mostly liberals, need to step up and pay more in taxes. Can these cities keep pace with the indigenous population? If not, importing more people is stupid.
