Your number is a made up lie and you know it. Link some sources for this, or stop spreading this nonsense. Some number of the unsheltered homeless are drug addicts, and some of those became drug addicts after they were homeless, because being homeless is soul crushing. You need to be asking the true cause of a lot of this homelessness, and also the cause of the cases where folks became homeless because of drug use. A very large percentage of all homeless are veterans (20-30%) and california has the highest number of homeless veterans (so the percentage is likely higher there). Most folks become homeless due to costs, not drugs. The most visible, aggressive homeless are likely drug addicts, and those are the ones you notice, but they aren't properly representative of the problem, and your characteristic of the problem makes the problem worse, not better.
