This is pretty low even by Hacker News standards. There are some highly intelligent people who are homeless, they have no ethical problems. They may have dependency issues, they might have a mental illness. In the US it's even possible they got wiped out by medical bills and can't afford anything, their credit is destroyed and they're not physically able to work, yet that's just the visible homeless, not all of the actually homeless people. I've been technically homeless for six months. Even though I had money, I had a job, and I spent every day looking for listings, finding a place was crazy hard, every listing would be snapped up within hours of being posted. I ended up couch surfing and living out of my office. It didn't matter that I had a job, that I even owned the company, I was still homeless. It sucked. The place I was renting was sold, I had to move, and the timing was awful. Long-term homeless people have a host of issues that keep them in that trap, but that's a small portion of homeless people in general.
