If the value is all about location, then by your logic, for each homeless person we can simply build a Beverly Hills style mansion out in the Midwest, and now it's affordable housing.

You know, because the value is not in the mansion, it's just in the Beverly Hills location.

You could certainly build a Beverly Hills style mansion in the Midwest for a lot less than you could build it for in Beverly Hills, although would still be a suboptimal use of public money...

(The problem is that the homeless don't want to be in the rural Midwest. Even if you give them homes there, they still have no money and all the same personal problems that led to them becoming homeless in the first place, but now they can't effectively have an income from begging.)

Plenty of homeless people get by here from begging. Biggest struggle is that summers hit a heat index of 120, winters drop to a chill of -30.

Milder climate is just better suited to a life without the privilege of climate control.
