And even those that are planning to live off of welfare... what else can you do. Welfare isn't that great and a vast majority (by a huge margin) has aspiration to have a better life so you only need to support those who can't work and those who will not work no matter what. You can force the latter by starvation but if they have such low needs anyway they will find the easiest way to sustain themselves and will be a bigger problem to others one way or another. Welfare is a cheap price to pay It's a strange way of thinking that I don't fully understand. Why would one choose to live with homelessness problem rather than pay to solve it and get them off the streets? Only because those paid 'don't deserve it' so now both parties live non-optimally.
