Visit San Francisco sometime. You may end up reconsidering how quickly you blame homelessness on the selfishness of the people who live in the region. There's a ton of wealth in SF, and seemingly more per-capita empathy for the less fortunate than anyplace in the entire country, and yet major parts of the city feel like one huge homeless encampment. In a lot of ways, this is because of the empathy the locals feel for the homeless, not a symptom of a lack of concern. The causes of homelessness, and the things which lead to there being more or less homeless people in a particular region, are way more complicated than "the rich locals are selfish".
