The hell's going on in USA...?
Where I live I'm barely seeing homeless, and when I'm seeing homeless then it's due to their own choice of preffering alcohol over shelter, so I don't care that much (still getting them food if they ask and I have the means).
Does america not have shelters for homeless? Or do more homeless prefer deugs of any kind over shelter?
We do have homeless shelters, tons of them, but still not enough. Would be nice if we fixed the problems that create homelessness so we wouldn't need so many shelters. It's a complex problem I won't pretend to know how to fix, but there's always an oversupply of people who do (pretend to know).
Also, homeless shelters can be dangerous and normally doesn't allow drug/aclohol use, so addicted persons can't go there.
Homeless folks, in the sense of literally being on the street, often have either addiction or mental health issues here in the states. As our treatment for addiction is 'jail' and for mental health issues is 'deal with it', they are generally not overflowing with options.
