Can anyone figure out THE REASON for this?
Could it be Stupidity, perhaps?
in any case just follow the money...there you will find your answer
Decades ago, there were these things called "flophouses" in NY. For a buck or so, you could have a bed and a locker to put your stuff, with the bed either being in a very tiny room just big enough for the bed, or maybe in a barracks-style area. They weren't too clean, but it was a warm, fairly safe place to sleep. I'm so familiar with them because there was a time, many years ago, when I was (very temporarily) that far down.
But then city codes and regulations made it impossible to run one, plus you could not "discriminate" against troublemakers. So they went away and people get to sleep on the streets.

Yes they sleep the steps with all of the things you or I would have burned, filty bags, flea infested, smells to bold you over.
Try walking pass these places some are very menacing.
The groups that promotes this are liberals churches who use religion to harrang the working folkes with.
