The problem is that those particular homeless people are choosing to be there and do that, and the solutions to that problem do not currently map to places that are thinkable in the political spectrum. So everyone just has to accept it.
Those aren’t people who just happen to be poor and need some help for a while and then will get back in their feet given some assistance.

(San Francisco’s budget for homeless services is currently $850 million/year, not that that is well-spent, it obviously isn’t. This doesn’t count police/ambulance/hospital services for people who are in and out of the hospital on a regular basis, which is a thing.)

So what you are seeing is the effect of dogma: when people have a theory about how to solve a problem, and apply it, but the problem keeps getting worse, but they keep doing the same thing because it’s heresy to question their beliefs.
