Disgusting.
Many Homeless choose to live that lifestyle. Granted not all of them, but a large number of people whom are homeless do choose to live on the streets. He'll I met guy just outside of New Orleans whom was at a park in the middle of nowhere with just his bike and all the belongings he could carry.

The guy said he had been living like that for over 20 years and had traveled all over the US as well as much of South America. I offered the guy a couple cans of soup I had and he turned me down and only took 2 water bottles.


Many however clearly have mental issues and since we no longer have state run asylums the only place for them is on the streets or in jail if they don't have family to help them.
