I am domiciled in a country where I don't have to step over homeless* on my way to the Hermes store; am I using this comment as a status symbol? * they must exist here (et in Arcadia ego...), because I see the occasional newspaper article about them, but they're certainly not visible, as in Paris, or ubiquitous to the point of literally having to step over them, as they were in the Old Country. [in my old city there was one individual who I thought might have been homeless ... but upon asking, my friends (a) immediately knew who I meant, and (b) told me, no, he has an apartment, he just looks like he doesn't]
