(Also note, I provided data ... not opinion.)
I mentioned people providing links, statistics, etc...which your data falls into. "Is very nice" as Borat would say

Can't say I'm surprised either, when people run cities a certain way, things can get outta control.
You do realize, don't you, that the homelessness is created in large part by the free-market system for real estate, coupled with the job boom in certain sectors? Supply and demand. Demand skyrockets, prices follow. The alternative is to regulate prices, or set prices via a centrally-planned economy, as in Russia, Bosnia, China, as the 'Mutt pointed out. Or to increase supply, by going skyward, and turning Oakland and SF into Hong Kongs.

Take your pick. Perhaps you could explain your comment attributing the problem to "running cities a certain way". What "certain way" is that, exactly?

On the one hand, having rents/RE prices set by federal housing authority (Moscow, WA DC, Beijing, whatever), and having said authority command that huge housing-block high-rises be built to accommodate demand, has the advantage, that people aren't forced to locate farther and farther out from their employment, so huge commuter traffic doesn't get generated. OTOH, the downside is, that most people don't want to live like in the linked article, and don't want their city to look like that (example from Vienna, Austria):

Lol, again. In summary then, you admit you posted a vacuous, meaningless comment.

Excellent, “Borat” ... excellent. Kudos.

Because that IS the answer when rightwingers come here to apply their bogus version of common sense (aka a double standard) to majority liberal cities.

He said "Oakland needs to learn a lesson". Oh really? Why shouldnt the entire country learn said lesson?
