> quality of life issues caused by the homeless they are referring to the subset of homeless people that are "unsheltered".

Quality of life issues for others are not caused by "homelessness". They are caused by mental illness, or crime, or very aggressive lack of care for others. Being homeless is not what causes someone to spread garbage everywhere, to poop on the sidewalk, to break car windows.

Blaming homelessness is a political act. By someone who has a political axe to grind - and who doesn't give a crap about quality of life issues.

In the same line, see the fight against people living in RVs. Many of them cause no problem, others do.

In the same line, see San Francisco "street cleaning" parking hassles. Is it about street cleaning? What street cleaning?
