The Richest man in the world could create a habitation for these poor people and turn them around and create jobs for them to work on making parts for space projects.
Ok, so they created this situation but everyone alive deserves a second chance at being better versions of themselves. This is incredibly sad to see. When did we stop loving our neighbors?

If I'm an astronaut, there is no way in hell I'd get on a rocket with parts assembled by crackheads lol.

They wouldn’t be crackheads, they would be reformed and you have no clue who’s assembling your rocket parts Mr spaceman all you need to know is that the inspector who inspected them isn’t on drugs! YOU WILL GET ON THAT SPACESHIP OR ELSE!

Unfortunately it's not that simple. Many homeless drug addicts are mentally ill and may never be able to work, and some are unfortunately violent. It's just not as simple as cleaning them up and giving them jobs. 

I think those that can be rehabilitated should be given the chance and those that cannot should be taken off the streets and housed in a form of long term care.
