    would mean that the only people who want to be homeless are homeless, and anyone who doesn’t, isn’t

    this is already what every US property owner believes

      Then free houses for the homeless who want them should be a no brainer for them because it would cost nothing!

        are you serious? if every US state and local government had a magic button that created a free home out of thin air for every currently unhoused person, they would unanimously destroy that button without a second thought to prevent any potential decrease in existing property resale price.
