We're mostly talking about solutions that increase the marginal benefit of not being homeless.
Someone brought up all the "freebies" as part of the explanation. Do you see room for making homelessness more unpleasant (in some dimension) as part of a solution set? I'm certainly not proposing anything inhumane, but even just allowing private property owners to remove them might help in some cities.

I am 100% in favor of removing government "freebies". I do not support handing out cash to people on the street. It enables drug abuse. I think organizations and individuals are better at deciding what is help and what is enabling self-destructive behavior. Private property rights help. There have been people that have tried to provide housing but were stopped by cities because the state doesn't respect property rights. Many of the functional problems caused by homelessness could be improved if there weren't any "public" property.
I think what these people are doing is amazing. https://mlf.org/
