NYC houses something like 95% of its homeless as well, which is why we have a lot less people on the streets than in places like LA or SF.
But shelter conditions are pretty miserable as I understand it so you can sort of understand the hold outs.
And we may just not have enough space. But yea, NYC's a big city, there's definitely some homeless, but I'm not sure my lived experience here is as dire as you make it sound.
That being said, some areas are certainly worse than others, and there's definitely some aggressive mentally ill people you'll see here and there.

This is true, and is the most clear example of how immoral the "housing first" policies in California are. It is a pipe dream that creates a horror show of homeless misery on the streets in LA and SF. The vast majority of the city’s approximately 50,000 homeless people live in shelters — about 30,000 in family shelters, and about 18,000 in shelters for single adults. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/30/nyregion/nyc-homeless-eric-adams.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/30/nyregion/nyc-homeless-eri...
