Where shall you house these homeless people? During the pandemic NYC tried using vacant hotels to house homeless people. Surprise surprise the areas immediately surrounding the hotels turned into a drug and needle playground, and people evacuated. It was an epic disaster.
People with this idea are almost always from the suburbs. Plenty of homeless people are merely down on their luck, but many (most?) others have mental issues or have crippling drug addiction. No one wants that shit near their home or children.
You can certainly try and force it, but you can’t force people to tolerate it. People will just leave, and the nearby areas will turn into a slum.
