If you're only going by visual indicators then you're going to get a terribly skewed sample. In most municipalities it's illegal to be publicly homeless for any length of time. So all you're going to see is folks living in defiance of those regulations.
A homeless family trying to keep their kids warm and fed is not going to risk being sucked into the prison labor racket if they can possibly avoid it.
- diogenescynic 7y agoThey’re clearly not arresting people just for being homeless. Don’t know what you’re talking about, at all.
- KirinDave 7y agoThey're absolutely arresting people and confiscating their property if they're settling in urban areas. Most major cities regularly bust up "homeless camps". If the police run you out of any place you try to sleep and arrest you if they see you three times in a week, they're arresting you for being homeless, regardless of any specific law they're citing.
