And never bother to look at why people are homeless....

you tell me

some are homeless through "shit happens" reasons

some are homeless because they want to be, like the druggie son of a neighbour who was ejected from his parents sleepout because he set it on fire

some are homeless because they cant behave themselves

It is almost never a 'choice'. 

Usually it can happen when the landlord puts up the rent to an unrealistic level. Being unable to afford rent, unable to find an affordable roof over your head is often what leads to people having to sleep in their cars or under bushes, bridges .


In a more reasonable world, a govt with the welfare of its people at heart would have, rather than selling off state housing, instead built more to meet the need. Instead successive idiot govts have either ignored or worsened the problem.
