A major problem with treating homelessness is...
There are thousands of people, employed in a multi-billion dollar industry, that if they were successful at their jobs, would become unemployed.
I can think of no other industry in which success would cause its own demise.
In fact, the incentive seems to be, making the "problem" worse, insures job security...Thus cities like Herb Caen's "Baghdad-by-the-Bay", create themselves as a homeless magnet.
