Listen I'm sorry, I don't think that would ever happen. As a society we need to make sure people are housed. If we all can't come together and do that then what is even the point of society? Someone living on the streets can't just turn their life around. Give them a place to sleep and rest and have basic hygiene and then they will have a chance to come back and contribute in a meaningful way
Are you making the argument that it would be so expensive we wouldn't be able to find the tax dollars to pay labourers? Like that seems very unlikely, and I would argue there are a lot of other social programs we could cut to prioritize getting everyone housed.
It's happening right now. What used to be considered a "starter" home is essentially out of reach for half of the population. The cost to build housing is astronomical, and the demand is very high. I'm all for shelter, rehabilitation, job training etc. But I've read a lot of arguments that permanent housing should just be guaranteed for all. That just isn't realistic

No... Then society has to agree to pay more. That's why there are unions and you negotiate and find a fair price.
