No but seriously. How do you gently caress up so much and continuously unless you're mentally ill or (similarly) a pathological liar and/or alcoholic

you probably don't but i don't see that it matters because it's hosed people are homeless even if they're crazy drug addicts who snort heroin and rant at shrubs.

alternately it's possible to just have a terrible run of bad luck and exhaust the good will of family and friends. i know a dude who became schizophrenic in his mid-20s and it was made way worse by spending some time in prison. i ran into him at mcdonalds and these days he's medicated and seems sane but his status as a felon and his illness makes it impossible for him to get a good job and his family has had enough of him so he' sabout to be evicted. just sucks man. feels bad.

imo if someone being mentally ill / addicted to drugs undermines your sympathy for their plight as a homeless person you're a real piece of poo poo.

Meh. There are tons of programs for them here in Canada and we pay a ton of money towards it and very few people even give it a shot.

is it because people don't want to get help or because there's a systemic/social problem stopping them from receiving that help though? it's almost never the former

It doesn't really undermine it but makes me feel worse. Should really be rehabilitation systems instead of just overcrowded homeless shelters. Tax money??? What are you doing?? Please be useful and stop repaving the neighborhoods every single year. Stop splitting it it into categories and just use it all.

welcome to the world of tomorrow

The homeless people in my area are homeless because they loving love being homeless

i once got in a big argument with a friend who genuinely thought the homeless people who hung out outside his panera all day nursing a single cup of coffee were just "lazy" and enjoyed it.
