> there is ample evidence that homelessness can be solved if there is sufficient political will to implement a structural solution

The unresolvable problem of homelessness is this: how do you house these people without concentrating poverty? The reason this is unresolvable is because if you build housing only for the homeless, that is by definition concentrating poverty. If you try to house them in multi-family housing, those who live there who work and pay taxes will move out, because unfortunately many of the homeless bring anti-social tendencies with them (and nobody wants to live next to a person addicted to drugs, even if they're on the path to recovery). This experiment happened in both the Netherlands[0] and in St. Louis[1].

This isn't an easy solution that just requires "political will". It's a very complicated problem that requires the study of incentives, mental health, economic factors, etc. (all mentioned in the original article).
