Surely you see that the 'career' homeless concept cannot be the vast majority of those who find themselves without shelter in Hawaii?  It actually is a position that allows so much harm to be unleashed on people........it's a red herring argument.  Plus - how would one be able to separate organic illness from just a  'desire to be on the street'?  I wouldn't expect a journalist to be able to amass that data....they report, you decide......but the 39 dog story is an aberration.
