It’s not about who “deserves” housing- at a certain point homelessness is a public safety/health issue. It helps the whole neighborhood/community if people are off the streets. You don’t need compassion for the homeless to recognize the value in housing them.

While there's some folks who are against their money going to help people, its more about who lives next to it. Everyone benefits no matter where you put it, but only a small amount of people directly adjacent pay the non-monetary price. That's where the arguments start.

No value in housing homeless. The tax payers pay the bill. They are a drain on society and their family members or next of kin should be responsible for housing them.

Except for the net drain on the police, the violence, and healthcare issues
