TBIs are real, and a TBI from a chunk that size going 60-100 mph can be lethal if not disabling.
Lubbock, in this one instance, has maybe ~700 unhoused individuals. It would be worse in cities like Austin where there are ~7000 unhoused individuals. (Note that most unhoused population censuses wildly undercount.)
Unhoused people have wildly varying afflictions or sometimes none at all of substances, mental health, motivation, encouragement, engagement, socialization problems, legal barriers, and lack of resources. There are a slim few sane, healthy, nonsmoker, nondrinkers, not completely destitute, but maybe elderly who through choice or life circumstances lack housing. And, there is a mental health crisis in America where people experiencing psychosis are especially vulnerable when they lack ID and cannot fill out MedicAid or Medicare SSDI forms.
