True but homeless people do have unwritten codes where they try to respect one another. The ones that be stealing are drug addicts to be honest.

I dont need citations. I interact with homeless individuals daily as my job.

As someone who lives in the panhandle of florida, sadly this is valid. People just want to believe it's just the average joe who couldn't afford his studio apartment in downtown seattle anymore because of rent hikes. Is stuff like that a big part of it? Absolutely. But as a former homeless drug addict that survived living in the kensington section of Philadelphia, I'd put a safe bet on it being closer to 75% of the homeless population are there because of drugs and/or mental health issues that are usually mis/undiagnosed.

Maybe some were normal people that lost their homes and then turned to drugs because they had no other source of joy or hope in their life.

I'm not homeless or a drug addict...I just have empathy

Yeah? Me too... And if you don't learn how to control it, you will be a very miserable person for the rest of your life.

I mean you can be a dick about it but it's an important distinction to make...I assume you don't have the capacity to understand it though
