This means that 60% did not come from another city or state and were SF residents. In other words, the majority of homeless in SF became homeless in SF.
SF has a huge homelessness problem and even after reducing it by 40% the problem would still be huge.
Now we can argue about why they became homeless but it seems pretty obvious that exorbitant housing costs mean that some people can’t afford it. City officials saying 40% come from other places shouldn’t distract us from the mismanagement that got us the 60%.
