I did not mean to suggest the problem was purely economical - the individuals I'm referring to have also been receiving professional help for, when necessary, prior addictions, career training and mental health problems (although such cases happen to have been the minority in my specific experience). I understand there's always more that can be done, but I do believe there exist people (in a tiny minority) who do want to lower the amount of responsibility in their life to the point that they are homeless, and that there's nothing that can be done to actually help said individuals, and I also believe that it's pointless to criticize society at large for not doing enough unless you can suggest specific, actionable things we could all do better. I don't say that with a defiant attitude - honestly, if you think I'm missing some action I can personally take to improve things, I'm all ears.
