FWIW, when people complain about the homeless, they are usually referring to people who live on the street, in tents, panhandle, etc. This is the vernacular meaning of the word. Not the much larger population of people who are homeless in the sense that they don't have a permanent place of residence, which is what you're referring to. The people who comprise the vernacular sense of the word are primarily afflicted by mental health and/or addiction issues. Fixing the cost of housing will not get them off of the street.
