We've criminalized living in a tent as vagrancy, thus exacerbating the problem of people being stuck in a bad situation and preventing them from being able to support themselves.
Also, "go live in a tent" really doesn't work in places where the temperature regularly drops below freezing, or is regularly above 90F, and where there isn't easy access to clean water and public bathrooms/showers. You're basically just telling people "go die of exposure".
