Yes it's intractable because having homeless people is considered more desirable than actually solving the underlying problems because it would hurt special interests.

The average SF resident loves having homeless people because of the secondary benefits that homelessness brings.

Can’t tell if sarcastic or not. People literally do love the secondary benefit of saying they help the homeless, and politicians basically run on that. Obviously the parent comment saying demand is created was talking about homeless demand to travel to an area with better benefits and/or lesser enforcement of laws that homeless would break, like camping on sidewalks and using the world as the toilet.
