@mekkaokereke Excellent rant. A small epilogue;
People told me that homeless people are drug addicts or crazy or both. I sought out homeless people to see for myself. The unhoused are a *population* with people who are addicts to people who work in office buildings 9 to 5. The VISIBLE and IN YOUR FACE unhoused often have issues, but *most* of the population is just getting along as best they can not bothering anyone. My understanding was flawed by the a subset of that population.
@ChuckMcManis also that homelessness can be an inciting incident to the visible and in your face, with subsequent addictions, rather than vice-versa.
One of the more interesting points I heard about the unhoused was that *all* their bad days were in public as a consequence of their being unhoused. We don’t see most people’s bad days.
