This reeks of being an outside observer. WA has no income tax, but has a sales taxes which homeless people are subjected to. The only taxes are from property which renters also don't pay. When people complain about the rent seekers it's from a place of empathy, not envy. The extraction of wealth done by them always has and always will be more negatively impactful than homeless folks.

Renters pay property taxes. I know I do.

You also pay for your landlord's vacations, and their food. And their drug and alcohol and gambling addictions.
