I see a paper with this many graphs and you know that they are completely missing the point. They have tried to measure a phenomenon based on a reductive description of the problem. Defining "homelessness" to mean "not living in a house" means that you cluster a huge amount of people into that category, and you end up trying to solve a different problem.

I'm all for increasing housing supply to drive down the cost of housing, but that's a completely different problem. That solution may drive down your metrics of "homelessness" but it's obvious that a different solution is necessary to address the "visible homeless".
