In the US of A there are numerous small political parties, and two major parties.
Research into the cities that have massive homelessness would reveal that those cities are typically under the political control of the same political party.
To understand why this is the case, one would need to research the Federal aid allocated for homelessness to learn that such cities receive roughly $40,000 per year per homeless person.
So, imagine the thinking of a service-to-self politician. Such a person might reason that if I make sure that the homeless stay homeless, I can use those massive funds to greatly increase what I budget for corruption. I certainly would not want to spend that money on helping the homeless to change their situation, because then I cut off my Sugar Daddy.
