The thing is, after the first few days, first week, you are not yourself anymore, your sleep is terrible, your thinking is beyond rational, beyond logical, every day is just searching for simple patterns for survival, for moments of peace.
Some people, not everyone, seem to think homeless can pull themselves out of it with enough resources. It doesn't work like that and sometimes it's not even for lack of motivation to not be homeless. You get caught in a web, it's a descent into someone not yourself anymore.
Sanders is not someone I would vote for in a primary but I am curious to see if he does become president if he tries to make a dent in not just reducing national homelessness in this country but preventing it in the first place which is an equally good idea if not even more important.
