RE: Not providing housing for the homeless is a human rights violation...
Yeah, I understand how you are thinking @janton, I used to think the same way.
But a homeless-shelter is not a home, try visiting a "mission" and pretend to be homeless one night, at firsts its pretty cool cause you get free food and there is a nice priest holding a sermon, but then it gets sketchy, you have to sleep in a very large room on a potentially infected mattress or blanket, surrounded by many other homeless people, some who might not be mentally stable or even dangerous violent offenders on the run or something, and you have no privacy, things go missing...
So I can understand why some people just decide to "camp out somewhere", also some of the homeless people are so crazy that they don't even know what planet their on so I guess they just end up where ever...
Others just want to take their drugs in some secluded place, where no one will bother them...
I know about this because I have done some months of volunteering at a Christian charity feeding homeless people.
This interview that @feodoraonmyhead just published pretty much answer your question:
I get it friendly-fenix, I was just saying that it's much more complex than most people think but I'll watch this interview sometime, my internet service was off for 9 hours today so I'm WAY behind!
@janton
OMG hours, how was it?
I bet you got a lot of things done as of household work and such?
I hate when the internet "goes away", but it's a good opportunity to clean and such...

howdy today friendly-fenix! yes sir, I did get alot of stuff done but it wasn't as fun! lol. Then after I sent that reply to you it went off again for another 1.5 hours so I'm still behind.
Is your service reliable there? We're out in the country so we have very few choices.
I had some serious internet connection problems this summer, now it works like 99% of the time.
