I'm all for humanization, and some people can really be cruel. But I also think it is important to point out that 55% of the homeless population in SF has been homeless for a decade or more, and are not just "people who are currently homeless."
And at some point we have to accept imprecise language in service of useful abstraction (which is all language is).
