If we just built enough housing this problem would go away.

Fun fact: there are more vacant homes than there are homeless. By a factor of 28. We have the homes, we just need to let people own them

    Yes of course, but how do you propose we get that to happen?

    Why are these homes empty in the first place? Are they in the same places where housing is needed?

    And even if you could house all homeless people, that still leaves the problem of the crushing expense of housing in many places.
