Does anyone ever hear this one? It doesn’t make sense to me. Why do we need the option to be homeless? Do you want to be Diogenes or what?

That and that people often think of homeless people as dirty vagrants or people with mental health problems because that’s who they notice, nevermind thousands of people living out of their cars but otherwise still participating in society normally.

When I was a kid we moved around a lot because my mom quit her job constantly. I was in my late twenties before I put together that extended stays with extended family in between apartments were homelessness.

Another one I see is that they’re lazy and don’t want to work.

Some of them literally have jobs. I also don’t think being lazy is worthy of homelessness either.
