Because I guess some significant proportion of the homeless are mentally ill and their behaviour and hygiene can be bad. I was in a large tube station in london a few months ago and there was an overwhelming stench. The women working there were holding their noses. I was gagging. I asked where the smell was coming from, assuming it was a sewage problem. "From him" one repied, pointing to a guy limping away. He was quite a distance down the corridor, yet reeking the place out. I think cases like those (due to severe illness) have to be handled by government or at least collectively. I don't think it's something individuals can take on. 'normal' people who've fallen on hard times, well that's entirely another matter. There but for the grace of god go any one of us.
