Complaining that a solution is bad because it does not apply to the people who willfully oppose having their problem solved makes no sense. Of course it won't eliminate homelessness in people who WANT to be homeless, I'm not sure how you could solve that problem with all the resources in the world. And as I said above, this doesn't solve the issue of mental illness but none of the current ones do either. I would argue the majority of homeless people are really just regular folks who have had a serious financial issue (the fastest route to the streets is the medical system) and giving them a leg up will not only get them off the street, but would likely get them productive again. I'm not arguing that basic income is the silver bullet solution to our cities' problems. I'm arguing for what we spend on the patchwork crap system we have now, we could use much more effectively via basic income WHILE giving these people at least a passing sense of ownership of their own lives.
