I agree, I don’t believe that people ‘choose’ to be homeless. Many homeless people are mentally ill or have additions that make it hard/impossible to hold down a job. Where I live beggers are a common sight. Often they are dressed better than I am. Perhaps this is why I believe in giving handouts to homeless people. I DO believe in giving money to charities that help the homeless as it is a better use for your money.
