The beautiful thing with democracy is that these housing solutions that provided an actual solution to homelessness where banned, are still illegal, and thus won't be "brought back" even if they make perfect sense, were preferred by the people who used them, are a free market solution, and much cheaper than the alternatives.

See San Francisco as an example of what happens when more money is poured in the "modern" solutions - very little reduction of the problem, if any.
