> Couldn't we have spent the money on homeless shelters and food and other things

I suspect this is a much more complicated issue than just giving them food and shelter. Can money even solve it?

How would you allocate money to end obesity, for instance? It's primarily a behavioral issue, a cultural issue

I guess it's food and exercise.

Healthy food is expensive, do things to make that relatively cheaper and thus more appealing.

Exercise is expensive, do things to make that relatively cheaper and thus more appealing.

Walkable cities are another issue. People shouldn't have to get in their car to go anywhere.
