Solving the homeless crisis requires more than a roof over people's heads. Who is going to take care of the property and pay the utilities? Who is going to furnish and insure the property? Who is going to paint it and keep it clean? Is the property in a place (State, city, neighborhood) that the homeless person wants to live in?
Now on this we agree. There's only one real way to fix the homeless crisis. Here in the United States, it's estimated there are 20 empty homes to every one homeless person. And who owns all these empty homes? Banks. Mortgage companies. CEOs. It's insane.

ITS always been a crime.
From a Legislative Perspective, it is Illegal to be Homeless in Virtually Every State in the USA, Except for Two – Oregon and Wyoming.Dec 16, 2022
With the advent of modern homelessness in the 1980s, rather than addressing the underlying lack of affordable housing, communities faced with increasingly visible homelessness began pushing homeless persons out of public view with laws criminalizing life-sustaining acts.
Loitering is often illegal because it can disrupt public order, create safety risks, and is sometimes associated with criminal intent, such as drug dealing or prostitution
Vagrancy laws historically criminalized homelessness and unemployment by making it a crime to wander without apparent financial support. They often included loitering prohibitions and could lead to arrest, imprisonment, and forced labor. Vagrancy laws have been used to target and harass people living in poverty,

While being homeless itself is not illegal in Australia, vagrancy laws, which criminalized homelessness, were used in many parts of Australia until the late 20th century and early 2000s. However, some related practices like begging are still illegal in many Australian jurisdictions.

The Cruelty often isn’t point, it’s often abut Power when it comes to politicians, cruelty is not the primary goal, but rather a means to gain power.
