Dealing with homelessness is a massive money suck with no real return (in the quarter).
Homeless people arent making any money that goes into taxes... or businesses.
Homeless people aren't stimulating the economy.
Laws that apply equally to everyone (like not living on the streets) can be used to make them go elsewhere.
I don't see why they matter at all. We all know "The Economy" is rich peoples' assets, and these people don't matter one bit. And, "The Economy" is doing GREAT!
