Friend of mine is in a situation like that, they live next to subsidised housing for people who'd otherwise be homeless and you really, really don't want to live there. It's a good week when armed police have to turn up less than once a week. They're actually quite an SJW so you know it's really bad when even they say "some people have to be made homeless".

I don't actually want someone who gets kicked out of subsidized housing for doing things that get the cops called on them to be homeless - because it means that they'll be wandering the streets doing the same sorts of crazy and probably-violent things they did to lose their housing, just aimed at anyone who happens to be near them in public. I want them to be institutionalized in some way, not for their sake, but for the sake of ordinary people who want to be able to use public spaces without the risk of visibly-homeless people acting crazy in those spaces.
