You can get a curfew exception if you are working.
80’s crime world movies are fascist propaganda by the way.
We've really turned the word "fascist propaganda" to mean anything that goes against your worldview. There are definitely crazed homeless people who do not care one bit about committing needless violence. I've experienced it first hand. Back when I lived in NYC there were some of the absolutely most deranged people I've ever seen in my life, one guy stabbed a indian knick knack stall owner with a piece of glass for legitimately no reason. The guy almost died. It is what it is, but I think burying your head in the sand is not really a viable way forward.
It was disproven
You said it was disproven, how can something be disproved if you only tested it during a really short time period? Maybe you meant to say "evidence suggests" but that's much different than something being disproven

why do homeless people care about curfews they don't have any pressing matters they need to deal with past 9pm other than scoring drugs and committing crimes. nothing good happens past 9pm
Do you recognize that these sorts of initiatives can have long term affects that are not accurately understood in a small sample sized study over a short period of time?
I disagree that giving drug addicts a free and unlimited supply of drugs is the best way to fight drug addiction. Treatment (with forced holds) I'm a proponent of.
