Have you actually researched the issue? There are over 600K homeless people across the United States. This issue has existed for centuries, and there are people living in this condition across the US. The US has made a conscious decision to not systematically address social issues like homelessness (or lack of healthcare) due to a belief against socialist programs (i.e. we tent to rely on the "free market"). So if programs want this issue solved, you are going to have address this at the national level and maybe support a socialist program (although there may be a free market way of attack this). And if you want to live in place that doesn't have this, go to Germany or the Netherlands because there is no place in America that has addressed homelessness (as far as I'm aware). Funny enough, if you had scrolled a little further down you would see a business insider article talking about a SV exec trying to address this issue: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-jungle-largest-homeless-camp-in-us-2013-8?op=1 http://www.businessinsider.com/the-jungle-largest-homeless-c.... Also if you have Googled a bit, you would have found out San Francisco spends over $200M on homeless issues, making it one of the largest city efforts to address the issue. Please do not rely on link-bait from BusinessInsider to be your primary research source; there's a world of knowledge freely available out there through Google & Wikipedia.
