quote [ “The affordability crisis within major urban areas is real,” they write, “but it is due less to over-regulation of housing markets than to the underlying wage and income inequalities, and a sharp increase in the value of central locations within metro areas, as employment and amenities concentrate in these places.” ]

Hmm, it's almost as if centralizing housing into the hands of a few private individuals and then letting them raise their prices as high as they can get away with (even if it means some of their units go unused) creates an artificial inflation in real estate prices overall. Anyways...

Reveal
Adam: As housing costs skyrocket and inequality grows, homelessness is reaching crisis levels in large metro areas. In response, the media — namely local news stations and Fox News — routinely treat the homeless like an invading species, a vermin to at best be contained, and at worst eradicated.
Nima: The result has been a slew of stories pathologizing those experiencing homelessness as uniquely dangerous. Panhandlers are viewed as con men out to screw over the working man, chased down by vigilantes with the help of outraged local news crews “standing up” to the poor. The housing status of those who commit crimes is only mentioned when they’re homeless of course — never for the housed — and every transgression committed by someone who is experiencing homelessness is viewed by our media as evidence that the homeless population in general is just out to attack us all.
Adam: But this narrative flies in the face of the evidence, and tracks — like most quote unquote “crime coverage” — with the needs of real estate interests who set the tone for local media coverage, and who have every reason to highlight and oversell the threat of homelessness to pressure lawmakers and police to displace “eye soars” for their yuppie clientele they’re attempting to sell to and ultimately serve.
