Not to mention that it’s harder to ask people for help, for somewhere to stay till you get on your feet, because (1) asking for help means you would be the leech and (2) the person you might ask sees themselves as an individuals and doesn’t want to be caught up in any collectivism. And individualist society doesn’t like to help those who ‘refuse their individualist calling’ by not working hard enough. It should go without saying that I reject these claims; I’m listing them to make the connection between individualism and the homelessness epidemic.
