The homeless are one of the many bad out comes when, as a nation, we decide that all lives don't matter.  Civilized countries have proper public housing, public education, public healthcare, and a proper criminal justice system. We have none of those things for "all" of our citizens. People behave badly when they give up on themselves and life. Their continued existence just reminds them that their lives don't matter. Their most important goal each day is to escape the physical and emotional pain that is always near. Too bad most Christians refuse to follow the advice that Jesus gave them. However, we don't have to make this a moral issue. We can solve this problem as a cost benefit issue. It is better for the society to have everyone functioning as valued contributors. We should be making that as easy as possible for everyone. Everyone will be safer.
