Does throwing money at the homeless solve homelessness, or does it just subsidize it?(img.gvid.tv)

That is why charities need to do it instead of the government. Give them some of the abandoned towers in the city, and rehab them by hiring the homeless to work on them and manage them. The charity pays the homeless to manage the apartments, and lets the other homeless live in the apartments rent free.

Need to make things harder on the poor so they try harder, like a crucible.

It's false comparison.

Supporting the homeless is crucial because it addresses a severe humanitarian crisis, upholds basic human dignity, and provides long-term economic and social benefits to the entire community.

Supporting scientific projects is also crucial.

Spending $trillians on warfare and military bases is something traitors do to the American people in order to build stock portfolios for said traitors.

Explain why California spent billions on helping the homeless and still has one of the worst homeless problems.

Why?

Want some history? Robber barons (deregulated and while not paying taxes) at the turn on the 20th century caused the Great Depression, which caused homelessness, especially in California. Today 24% of the US homeless population lives in California (187k). It was necessary to try to help them, which was done, to the tune of $24 billion (of Califoria's $349 billion annual budget). It was a good investment. Because of Republican deregulation and other ways of funneling national profits to a few wealthy individuals, and mega corporation mergers, followed by layoffs in the 10s of thousands, there is "no private sector job creation in the US" today. The homelessness will increase. California will have to try to provide shelter. Taxes will have to pay for that.

Debatable.
Because it's debatable, keep bureaucracy, middle management, and government out of it.

Tax people less and let communities take care of it.

let communities take care of it.

A 3rd world option, resulting in 3rd world conditions, which is exactly what the Heritage Foundation and billionaires want.
