The vast majority of homelessness is caused by unaffordable housing in the area, or temporary money flow problems. This is a different population than the visible, chronic homeless. Sweeping them up into one group seems counterproductive. The mom who just lost her job and is getting evicted from her apartment just needs money or a more affordable living situation. The guy yelling a trees on the street, needs mental health treatment. When people complain about the homeless, it is mostly about the chronic homeless even though they are a much smaller population.
