They don't care about the homeless so they don't care that those poor people will still be homeless somewhere else. The rich just no longer have to see the unhoused -out of sight out of mind- as they say. Then since they're now out of mind, they don't have to fix or offer viable solutions for homelessness. The rich hope those poor people die as they're deemed morally terrible people who are there directly because of their own failings. Plus it makes more slave labor available for today's private prisons across the nation.
