The implicit assumption is that if you don't work, hard, you don't get a home. If you combine that with 'homeless policing', you're then saying that if you don't work hard, you'll be abused by society. I don't have an answer for this but I dislike euphemisms like 'they prefer this lifestyle'. If you can't work (anyone who understands mental health will realise that "can't" actually is a meaningful word in this context) then you have no other options.
