Homelessness in the USA is pretty much a state issue not a national issue the last president that actually cared for the homeless was LBJ a Democrat.  As far as I know no Republican president actually did anything significant to reduce the homeless problem in the USA.

Why would you want the president to be some omnipotent ruler to control everything. That's not his job, not should it be. No, this problem in popping up in Dem controlled states/cities. Instead of fixing the problem, they are encouraging it by giving out drug needles and tents, decriminalizing hard drugs, and forming poop patrols to clean up where these people just shit in the streets.

Giving out clean needles is done to spread diseases among the general population not just addicts.  We don't live in your dream world where problems just disappear by ignoring them, most drug addicts actually come in contact with non addicts on a regular basis.
