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
