This response only makes sense if you completely ignore the first paragraph of my post.

I'm not ignoring it, I am addressing it directly and saying you're wrong and your reasons are BS. Money spent on the homeless is a finite resource, something I am well aware of working in healthcare and being married to a social worker who works with the homeless. Fully functioning and employed adults who could house and sustain themselves if they moved but choose to be homeless take resources away from vulnerable people who literally have no options. These excuses propagated by people like yourself only enable the perpetuation of poverty, and add to the sense of lawlessness seen in many cities where the "rules" only seem apply to some of the people.
