How does this work, exactly? Apartments have people that live in them too, generally less wealthy people I would think. Right?
The real question though... have you tried the pizza and how good is it?
It really doesn't. Back when the country was first formed, everyone was a business owner and it was highly unregulated. You would be a blacksmith or a farmer or vet. Everyone legit owned their own businesses before market interventionist was a thing
In the absence of regulationlobby government. with vast sums of money government for beneficial treatment:
These 2 things are incompatible. Preferential treatment by the government requires regulation of competitors like they did with Covid mandates on small business.
No monopoly can crush competition without government regulations handed down from the one uncontested monopoly of force of the government.

Broadly speaking - the entire purpose of government is to Marshall a set of collective resources of group - and use those resources to do thing that benefit the group.
If you have basic level of human decency, and empathy you can appreciate that homelessness is bad that you we need to do something about; the only argument is about how that I achieved.
Sanders support dropped and avg. of 25% from 2016 to 2020. In Bernie country, the Northwest and Northeast, his support dropped by more than half. If we agree that Bernie is too old to run for office again than Bernie' support in the underage is irrelevant, right?
Feeding our children is one of the first and most traditional American obligations to that General Welfare.
Just making it clear that the rightwing ain't rooted in Christian values, in spite of constant claims to those values.
But they already did that with a smaller budget. There was less homelessness in the US in the 50's an 60's then just about any other time since NAZI Germany.
If you are going to neglect America's indigent then you have no business complaining about crime. There is an absolute and irresolvable relationship between the quality our children's welfare and the national crime rate 20 years later. History is quite indisputable on this point: you can pay now or you can pay much more later but you are very wrong, the problem is impossible to ignore.
I don't know why you think the homeless are particularly employable. Two thirds are addicts, a third suffer from profound mental diagnoses (almost all of which stem from childhood neglect and violence).
My State of Colorado spends about $481m on shelters, services, emergency response and healthcare on a population that ranges between 5-10,000
My state estimates that they can provide a homeless person with a simple studio apt or mobile microhouse for about $12,000/yr. If we can keep basic service under a thousand/month then that's a quarter of what we spend now. If we went back to the old centralized dormitories model we could probably get annual spending below $20,000/year for about a fifth of what we spend now.
