Sorry, I did miss your point. Kinda find it hard to be sympathetic for the career homeless. Another article today's CB talks about people who have chosen to be on the streets for 25 years. Another homeless person has 39 dogs. If they choose the lifestyle let em live it. The only alternative is to force them into shelters or put them in jail.
Here's the link to the article.
