Instead of stroking his ego by racing Branson to space, Bezos could personally buy each of these people a home in the Bay Area and wouldn't even notice a difference in his lifestyle. Tax the rich. Spend it on social programs.
That’s not why they are homeless.

You are answering a question that wasn't asked. Did the poster make a causality statement?

I'm not endorsing the idea of bezos buying houses for them, mind you, but for a lot of homeless people in this country that would be a lifesaver.

This has been known for a long time. It costs the public less to provide direct federal and state-financed housing for the homeless than to keep them on the streets. Finland and many other countries do this and they have the happiest people in the world. States like Utah have also implemented successful programs based on this model. The question isn't what do we do, it's why aren't we doing what we know works.
If you're in a position to donate some money I know HomeFirst Services does good work.

If you believe Bezos buying everyone a house is a solution to the homeless crisis you are so naive and ignorant of the situation that your views aren’t even worth a rebuttal. Do better.

That's a broad brush. There are a great many reasons why people become homeless in this country. I'm not endorsing the idea of bezos buying houses for them, mind you, but for a lot of homeless people in this country that would be a lifesaver.
