In their defense, it is very counterintuitive. "Who would want to live on the streets?" is a perfectly valid question with an obvious answer (nobody) and a different correct answer (people with specific manifestations of mental illness).

I'm in favor of UBI and I'm in favor of specific investments to solve homelessness, which I think should be one of the most urgent topics on any political agenda worth considering. But you are right when you say that these are two completely different issues.

Agreed. I'd love for a politician from either side to approve UBI and work on the homelessness problem. So far, neither the Democrats are Republicans seem very interesting in either of those things.
