Sounds like you agree that high rents are at least somewhat to blame for homelessness.

I would take all this a step farther, in fact: the recent surge in illegal immigration is, itself, a proximal cause; that phenomenon is being now driven by climate change. But again, you don't usually hear that mentioned when people and news outlets discuss illegal immigration.
I’m curious what you mean by that. According to the DHS [1], Mexico is far and away the most represented country of origin for people who have immigrated to the US illegally. Are you saying this is caused by climate change acutely affecting Mexico’s economy?
