Hell, why not just summarily execute them. No more homeless problem!

Sounds like you’re volunteering to take them in. Good for you.

I don’t see how his comment implied that. Perhaps you can explain?

P is a sarcastic rejoinder to the GP with approximate intent of: don't put down others' solutions without a solution of your own / don't minimize others'[0] suffering because you don't have skin in the game.

[0]That of people victimized by the homeless/addicts.

I'd think that but GP sounds just as sarcastic to me.

I don’t like having my own very not-homeless and not drug addict family members for extended stay…

Not wanting houseguests doesn’t somehow mean we aren’t collectively smart enough to figure out which levers need some tweaking to mitigate drug addiction and housing issues.
