Generally anyone who believes in free-market capitalism will say this is an intended feature.

Have you never heard of "actions have consequences?"

You're probably not going to hear someone just outright say this is good but they will allude to it.

Deep down they know it's bad, hence why most won't just come and say homelessness is a good thing.

If they don't say it's good, and they know deep down it's not good, in what sense do they support it? Again, I'd be interested to read up on it if you have examples in mind, but every "free market capitalism" person I'm familiar with agrees it'd be great if everyone had electricity and nobody was homeless.
