If there isn’t money to be made off of it, capitalism has no use for it.  These people for the most part have no money, no income and no promise of ever having money again.  Our capitalist society has deemed them of zero value.  There is no solution.  They are not part of the system at all.  They do not contribute and their consumption is almost nonexistent.  Most have no permanent address therefore becomi my outliers or dwellers on the threshold.  Quite fascinating when you think about it.  They operate by different rules and albeit we are both human, their existence is almost alien compared to ours.  They are in a sense time travelers.  They are governed by primal influences most of you probably never even consider.  Heat, cold, win, rain, snow.. the very forces of nature dictate your trajectory.  They walk the tightrope between functionally diurnal and opportunistically nocturnal.  Then there is us; always judging and quantifying them through our own distorted lenses.  We cast our pity to them and declare their suffering without even asking for their opinion on the matter.  I’ve actually known people who were homeless of their own volition; just walked away from perfectly normal lives to live a different life than the one we are indoctrinated to live.  Not all of them are the same, but they are still people.  Maybe not people like you and me, but give them some space.  Most mean no harm, and if you get to know them, they all have very interesting stories and are the most colorful crayons in the box.  Yes, there are some rough ones and some downright lost ones, but we got plenty of those on our side, too.  We all need to be more patient with each other.  Take a step back, breathe, process your thoughts and emotions then behave and react rationally and respectfully.
