You hit the nail on the head I think. You meet a lot of these types when you spend time doing volunteer work. Eloquent, relatively intelligent, very street smart, and pathologically unable to take accountability for anything in their lives. I suspect it comes from years of taking advantage of the kindness of others, usually due to a history of drug addiction. I don't mean to paint with broad strokes here: there are many kind, honest homeless people who really just need help finding a way to live. There are also a lot of shucksters who will tell you exactly what you want to hear.
