  The chronically sick who are homeless by choice with untreated mental health. Homelessness isn't just people without a home, it's often people who don't participate in society through work, their needs vary depending on the individual. Some just are not well enough to operate in routine. Like waking up, doing choirs, cleaning a home. Upkeep, preparing food and then cleaning. Some people will literally just treat a house like the street and then in an apartment environment it causes issues like mice and roach infestation. Basically not everyone has the same needs and wants out of life and you can't force a square peg into a circle hole.
context: Oh you need some gun, missiles, and tanks?  Here's a bunch of stuff from my closet, we weren't going to use it anyways. >
  
  Well, we were, unfortunately it's outdated by our standards but was designed to kick Russia's ass in the Cold War era, which is perfect because they haven't advanced their capabilities at all since then. >
  
  The difference between "we built one of these things, lets show off how awesome we are" and "ooooo shiny new toy, let's order 10,000 as a trial run" >
  
  This is closer to a friend saying "Hey I made too much casserole out of some leftovers, wanna come over and take some off my hands?" >
  
  Even closer to that friend who is really into fishing. And is getting rid of old stock in his freezer to make room for this year's catch >
  
  Great.  Israel has wherewithal to defend itself so no pain to them and Ukraine will receive much needed aid to fight off Russian. >
  
  Was it meant for Israel to use? I figured they kept it there for their ships to pick up for quick use if they need to run through the Suez and into the Red Sea with said arms or go over land to Iraq or go use it on Syria >
  
  I should have worded better.  Yeah, the supplies are not for Israelis to use but for American military personnel to use in case of trouble in Middle East.
  Edit:  In case of emergency Israelis are allowed to use it. >
  
  The article stated the US has let them use weapons from this stash in the past >
  
  That I was not aware.  Thanks for the info. >
  
  This is a good thing, we should have done this a long time ago though >
  
  Unfortunately Israel is toeing an annoying line between angering Moscow and angering Washington, all so they can have more unfettered access to Syria to harass Iran, even though Iran is helping Russia. It's a convoluted mess.
  It's a good thing Israel chose to let the US use their own stockpile to send to Ukraine. >
  
  You're not portraying Israel's side of this very fairly. Russia allows Israel to strike Iranian assets in Syria, and this helps to prevent (relatively) advanced weapons and supplies from being provided through this route to Hezbollah, a group that dominates Lebanon and is hostile to Israel. If Israel sours things with Moscow, that could directly mean bigger, longer ranged, and more advanced weapons rain down on their cities the next time a conflict happens with Hezbollah, even worse than last time in 2006. It's also probable that leaving this unchecked allows more weapons to reach Hamas, which regularly strikes civilian targets in Israel with rockets. 
  I'm not saying Israel never does anything bad. I'm just saying it's not really fair to call it "harassing Iran". >
  
  the US just has a random stockpile of weapons in Israel? I thought it was crazy when the US sent them soviet tanks and soviet equipment.. I mean how did they even get that? This is crazy >
  
  You could buy every homelessperson in America an averageAmerican house - paid off, in full, in cash, and it would cost less than 20% of this year's defense budget. 
  582,000 homeless * $275,000 house= $160,050,000,000. (160 billion dollars) 
  160/858 = 18% >
  
  You forget that a lot of this goes to pay salaries and for aid to foreigners who are in distress. The US is the sole enforcer of maritime trade safety for the entire globe. The scale of services we provide to the world and salaries we pay them and to our soldiers cannot be matched by any other country. The United States of America is the backer for any allied military in the event of a large scale war. Homeless people should probably get jobs or utilize existing benefits even if it means they have to stop substance abuse. Temporary homelessness assistance is drained by the chronically homeless drug addicted criminals. >
  
  I agree to an extent. Social services for issues like mental health were pretty much erased under Regan. He left it to the states and most states said the money was better spent on rich people needs. Homelessness can't be fixed by buying houses for people, but we need a place to put the most sick of those people and we need a way to cover the cost of ensuring our streets are not littered with human shit from people with schizophrenia. >
  
  If everybody had a minimal place to live then homelessness would be cured, within a margin of error. What am I missing when everybody agrees that homelessness can't be fixed with housing?
