Could the Andrew Yang 2020 "Freedom Dividend" solve the homeless issue? Yes.

Extra $1,000 a month allows these homeless people to move to smaller/rural areas and get cheap permanent housing.

We can even create a program where if you help a homeless person on the street get into an apartment, you get a $250-500 referral reward from their dividend.

Many ways to incentivize people to help the homeless. This solution sounds better than increasing congestion/traffic with more high density buildings to house the homeless in SF,LA,SD city limits.
