That's the capitalist way. There have to be some people whose misery incentivizes the rest of us to stick with our shitty jobs and make money for the owners.
Combine that with the incentives for private companies to build houses being all wrong under capitalism, so that they'll only build when there's a big profit to be made, and the people's trained allergy to investment in the public good, and you get this situation where every city has thousands of homeless people, everyone knows it's a terrible problem, but no one will do a thing to help them.
