I think about this constantly. My parents and grandparents are so concerned about a situation where a single undeserving "poor" person is given support that they'd rather nobody be given that support. Drives me insane, especially considering my grandparents were all too happy to accept government support during the pandemic despite them not needing it (their words).
... I wouldn't consider it an opinion when I say that food kitchens are for the needy. This guy is not needy, he's want-y, maybe, or greedy. The needy are in situations they cannot or otherwise struggle to control. This guy is actively avoiding "fixing" his situation to a point where he is no longer in need of these services.
The situation on the West Coast here is pretty bad. The homeless population is quite large and there's very little being done to help them. I can't help but feel it's partially the result of the older population here being apathetic due to the above.
