I don't think this is just about conservatives, it's also about the owner class and their quality of life. But def significant overlap.

Revealed: how companies made $100m clearing California homeless camps Public spending on private sweep contractors is soaring across the state – and unhoused people allege poor treatment

This reminds of the gross, despicable private detention and private prison industry in America.
