> I didn't say that they were a monolithic group. I said the homeless prefer the street. If you're not making any distinctions within the population you're just spouting meaningless statements. You can also say 'the homeless prefer permanent housing,' or 'the homeless have never used drugs in their life' and it's equally true, because it's true in some cases. > Obviously there are many reasons why they prefer the street, but they are monolithic in their choice to not utilize the shelters. Considering the fact that there are in fact homeless people in shelters, saying they're 'monolithic' in their choice not to utilize shelters is incorrect on its face.
