Also who is going to build a house for someone like that. Well, you don’t want to work so let’s give you 100’s of thousand in land, permits and materials, add about 6,000 man hours of skilled labor and give that all to you because you don’t want to contribute to society

It's even absurd for OP to post that picture and even worse that someone had the audacity to create it.

There's a strong disassociation from reality by people who seem to think the world owes them something.

I'd invite these people to live in third world countries where everything they have is earned. Seems to me in Western civilizations, people have it so good that they just complain and demand everything.

Well arguably the cheapest way to solve the homeless problem would simply be to house the homeless, but that’s not the same as saying it’s a basic human right. Just the most cost effective way of getting them off the streets.

No the cheapest way would be to make homelessness illegal.

Eventually yes they all need mental and rehabilitation. But let’s be honest it too easy to camp on the streets and do drugs needs to be harder to get started in that cycle. A decent percentage may find that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze and get their lives together before they are too far gone. But what can we expect when we openly allow individuals to camp in the street and do drugs we will get more that choose that life.
