How do you stop someone going outside and sitting down on the streets?

The point is that people shouldn't have to be forced to live on the streets out of necessity, unlike what happens today.
It's considered a perfectly normal part of live that some people live on the street in 2020 like animals, it's just nuts.

Well some places criminalize being homeless.

So if someone came and plopped themselves and the entrance to your house on the pavement, you'd want there to be no recourse to ask them to go away.
Vagrancy, loitering etc have always had cause to be enforceable offenses for 200 years for a reason
It's 2020, it just doesn't make sense to still have people living on the streets, like animals.
As most people are not financially independent, homelessness could literally happen to any of us. All it takes is a rough period in your live, you get laid off, a bad divorce, someone in your family passes away that used to contribute to the expenses and now you can't pay the rent, a war veteran that could not adapt to society.
A car breaks down and you can't go to your minimal pay job anymore, you get laid off and can't pay the rent.
To anyone who thinks otherwise and thinks homeless people just don't want to work, I recommend the channel Invisible People - https://www.youtube.com/user/invisiblepeopletv
