Increasingly "those people" also make major American cities dangerous and disgusting (living on the street without an address, trash services, and often very real problems that got someone there) undesired destinations. A systemic problem needs a systemic solution. Not just a focus on livable spaces, but a serious __political__ reform and an approach that has the big picture in mind. The American Dream cannot survive when it's foundation has become a land-lord rent-seeking, do no actual work, income source that is predicated on renting the basic needs of life to those less well off. Historians might well compare at least the roots of some of the protests in recent years not just to civil rights and persecution about race (which is an easy thing to point to as a root cause) but also about classist divides between the wealthy rent-seekers, and those who are forced to rent.
