San Francisco's homeless problem has little to do with the tech industry.

1) Are we shocked that a temperate city that offers a wealth of social programs for the homeless sees an influx of homeless from elsewhere in the nation?

2) In the 1970s California closed many mental institutions and made it harder for people to be admitted involuntarily. Guess where mentally ill Californians end up?

3) The San Franciscan government has spent decades fighting development to keep the city's beautiful, famous and in many cases historic housing intact. And now we are shocked when housing prices skyrocket after we deny development of new high density housing.

SF's housing and homeless debate is infuriating.

Affordable housing in a desirable neighborhood in one of the most expensive cities on earth is not a basic human right.
