By definition a non homeless person already has shelter.

Most homeless people you see on the streets are emotionally disturbed. And most shelters àre deplorable. And vivid the the calculus out the window.

Want to make conditions better in the subways and train stations? Improve the shelters, attack root causes of homelessness.

This is the only correct answer. Better shelters and oversight, should sink some of the issues given with homelessness. But without adequate social services the issue will not disappear.

Better yet would be housing for the homeless. But that's difficult to achive in a city where you pay ~1k for a shared bedroom already.

Again, housing is not the issue for the people in the subway.
