I'll never understand punishing the homeless, for being homeless.

There's a very widespread attitude that anyone that is homeless is homeless entirely because of their own failures, and therefore they deserve whatever suffering they're experiencing. There's also a widespread attitude that they should experience that suffering somewhere where people who aren't homeless don't have to see, because being reminded that people are on the streets is upsetting to people that would prefer to ignore society's problems. Punishing them for being homeless is just a part of that attitude. People would rather see homeless people suffer for daring to tarnish their view of the world around them than actually solve the problems.
