Good to remember when someone tries to help homelessness with a better object X.
It's the processes around it that need solving.
For instance how do you secure a mix of people with mental health issues and drug addictions. Even if you reduce sexual assault, if it happens on your watch you are responsible.
It's similar to the inability to invent self cleaning toilets. This commentary about $30 a flush sounds a lot, but dealing with human feces on the street would cost more.
