> ...then you are the reason homelessness is still a problem... That comes across as hyperbole. People commenting on the internet are not the cause of persistent homelessness. I lived on the streets for a while when I was a teen. My experience was almost no one wanted to stay there forever. The only people that do are crazy or totally given up on life. Therefore you have two homeless problems: 1. Crazy people or drug addicts that have no hope. 2. People who are in financial hardships. Almost all these stories are about #1, not #2. #2 is solved with many social programs. #1 exists because the state can't house crazy people in asylums any more. Therefore, the homeless problem will never be solved for #1 again because our society can't handle asylums. People commenting on the internet are not the issue.
