Rich progs love the homeless as long as they don't build the shelters in their neighborhood. But your neighborhood would be okay with them.
"San Francisco’s renowned waterfront hosts joggers, admiring tourists and towering condos with impressive views. It could also become the site of a new homeless shelter for up to 200 people. Angry residents have packed public meetings, jeering at city officials and even shouting down Mayor London Breed over the proposal. They say they were blindsided and argue billionaire Twitter executive Jack Dorsey and other tech executives who support the idea should lobby city officials to build a shelter by their homes."
They passed a law here in SD to make it legal to sleep in your car, then passed another law to make it illegal to be in front of rich people's houses that live at the beach as soon as it started to happen.

This is not a post about the homeless. This is a post about liberal hypocrisy.
Define rich "progs." Obviously there is no love for the homeless. Did you read the article? The people that live along the waterfront do not want a homeless shelter in their area. I don't blame them. You really do not understand the left coast. Have a lovely day.
This is a two-prong issue. First, I don't blame anyone for not wanting a homeless shelter in their area, as such places breed more homelessness, crime, disease, drugs, etc.
Second, this is also an example of liberals loving people such as the homeless, minorities, etc from afar. They love them as long as they go live in poor neighborhoods where the working class must live.

Or middle class neighborhoods. Believe me. Some of the liberals have decided the shelters normally located in the inner city near transportation, hospitals, etc. was wrong. They want to put shelters and meth clinics in the suburbs, where there is limited transportation. Unfortunately some of these suburbs are becoming fractured and cannot fight the liberals on this, so residents flee or give up.
But it is ok to bring that to someone else's neighborhood.
The best solution for public housing is to mix small groups in with everyone. Any building that's 100% public housing always ends in failure. So in an apartment complex that has 100 apartments, maybe make 10 of those public housing.
As for homeless shelters, just build them in areas that aren't zoned for residential use.
