Yeah. It's easy to feel powerless too.

Yeah the govt has its inefficiencies, but an inefficient program that helps people is better than no program at all. So what if it means that I pay a few extra (hundred, thousand) dollars a year in taxes? If that's the cost for housing people, I'd gladly pay it.

And as if the appeal to humanity weren't enough, how about the fact that it'll keep the streets of SF and other cities cleaner?
