    I think an important aspect that is being missed is that capitalism didn't "fail" to build enough houses or to redistribute them or whatever. Capitalists don't want to house the homeless, it's a conscious political and economic decision. Capitalists are not incompetent, if something sucks under capitalism you can be 100% sure that it's by design, and you should never accept a different explanation. Capitalists are evil, they are not stupid.
    This means that while you can and should definitely fight to mitigate homelessness under capitalism, it will never truly go away as long as the system is standing. The landowning class is simply not going to allow it.
