I suspect that this is because the 'place to stay' usually comes with various strings attached. I doubt there are many homeless people who would choose to sleep under a bridge rather than in a bed (though not doubt there are a minority who would).
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoThe strings attached generally ensure the place meets a minimum standard of tolerability. For example, while drug abuse certainly can't be cured at a snap of your fingers, it can't be tolerated in communal housing situations either; any sane person would rather sleep under a bridge than a bed in a crack house.
