There's not enough housing, where are people supposed to sleep?

To be clear, I hate seeing people sleep on the street. It's terrible, but they don't have good options.

Maybe if they werent constantly cycling through erratic meth benders and on a constant search to steal enough to afford their next high, they might have a better chance at affording housing. Im all for housing those who need it. And housing is too expensive in cities, but the meth/fent addict who cant even manage to keep their pants on has more severe problems than the going rate on a studio apartment.
