Mental illness has been on display in the media 24/7 for quite some time, so functional crazy is not a pipe/pill dream after all.... If any hardworking individuals were given the same accountrements in a high-cost city (permanent housing with housekeeping), there would be a huge waiting list. With a possible impending retirement crisis, able-bodied may not be the best term for qualification. As an aside, recycling is not profitable anymore, but the pre-existing obligations prevent dramatic or even drastic change on that front. This is no different. If I were to throw something on the wall for homelessness, I'd say keep it simple and build 3 new regional cities in the west, central and east with a clean slate design and throw up a sign that says "give us your tired, your poor" and see what happens. That way, several states, cities and counties are pooling their resources/budgets, you give everyone a red/white/blue moment, but in the true American Spirit, you make it someone elses problem overnight (aka. Make it disappear) for something you were going to pay for anyway. If we limit "extreme economy/political/welfare/climate experiments" to only these 3 regional areas, we may actually get lucky and build something resilent enough to be a runway for future generations, while being strong enough to be a safety net for the current gens. I say all of this in jest, but if it becomes a question of millions of old people dying with dignity, instead of homeless in the streets, there will be enough "zeros" to build it (nimby lingo).
