I belong to a group called Reason and Passion and we talk about political issues everyday. The issue of the human condition is always there. Homelessness in America, came up.
Here a some statements said by a member in our group, which is actually a very common census
"Most of those homeless people don't need to be. There are county programs for housing, but must be drug free. Most stay homeless by choice."
"I said they CHOOSE to be homeless." " That is the choice between being sober or homeless. All these programs exist now, not just suggestions. They just have to choose to use them and adhere to them."
"There are always exceptions."
"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences." ~Susan B. Anthony
