Call me a radical but I think human beings without homes are a higher priority than paying 10s or 100s of millions of dollars a year to build a new park or pave a road.

You can certainly take that perspective. It's unclear, however, how you'll find the funds to turn a city into a giant homeless shelter when no one else wants to live there because you don't offer access to safe and clean parks, sidewalks, and roads.
Governments have functions and services beyond homeless services they are obligated to provide. Saying that no public services will be provided until homelessness is solved is not a sustainable approach.
