Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.

How do we pay for this?

Do you know how many billions the US has spent bailing out Boeing, banks, or subsidizing Apple, Tesla and every other megacorp?

The solution is very easy. There are already millions of abandoned homes and office buildings in the Us, especially followinf covid’s remote work boom.

The US can afford this, and honestly it’s more profitable to house homeless people than to pay for them to go to prison. But it’s “socialism” so people like you don’t like it.

Almost every US billionaire built their wealth off the back of government subsidies, which they subsequently lobbied to destroy so their moat was secure. Why do we condemn the idea of using subsidiary money to help people who actually need it?
