the argument on behalf of tents in the street always seems to come down to a strange sense that every person on the planet is entitled to live, for free, in one of the most expensive cities in the world. this is not realistic?

I like the idea of marked funds. That go directly to the homeless and do not pass through the hands of any government official. Here is $800 a month that can only be spent on shelter. Here is $800 that can only be spent on food. Have fun.
certainly an improvement on what we're doing now, and at this point i'm fine with almost any incremental improvement

Me too, I guess I just think we can do better. Certainly what we’re doing right now (across the state really) is a massive embarrassment. But appreciate hearing your perspective.

Economically: Living in a tent is about avoiding owning a car. In a tent I can walk everywhere I need to go. But too expensive to live. A lot of people also just live in cars. Cars are the problem, cities constructed for them.
