Your friend must have been drunk or high on something when he or she said that. It is anything but the truth. Unfortunately things there are getting worse and more people are getting poor.
你的朋友說這話時一定是喝醉了或嗑嗨了吧。這絕對不是事實(shí)。不幸的是，情況到處都越來越糟糕，越來越多的人變得貧窮。
Son, Father and Grandfather. I once was a teenager.
About 100% of them are homeless because they are poor. But many of them don’t want to live in homeless shelters. They don’t want to follow the rules of the homeless shelters, such as no drinking, no drugs.
大概所有的無家可歸者流浪的原因都是貧困。但他們中的相當(dāng)大一部分人不想留在流浪漢收容所里。他們不想遵守?zé)o家可歸者收容所的規(guī)定，比如不喝酒、不嗑藥等等。

The homeless i’ve been around, like the govt.(our taxes) paying them & the handouts.I know some would like to change, But I’ve noticed the more free handouts, the more homeless. Interesting
我身邊的無家可歸者，政府（用我們的稅）幫他們支付生活費(fèi)用就像施舍一樣。我知道有些流浪漢想改變，但我注意到免費(fèi)的施舍越多，流浪漢也越多，真有意思。
your friend is wrong nobody likes being without a home and many of them are poor. Government taking care of the poor that is a lie they do very little to care for the poor me for example I get $ 16 a month food stamps some help with my rent but I pay $300 a month I pay some for my health insurance like $26 a month and have co pay at the doctor and drug store . but other wise I pay it . No it is not true they used to help the poor more like 40 years ago but now not really
你朋友是錯誤的，沒人喜歡沒家的感覺，但很多人都很窮。政府照顧窮人是個謊言 他們很少照顧窮人。以我本人為例，我每月能拿到 16 美元的食品券以及一些房租補(bǔ)貼，但我每月需要支付 300 美元 它還為我的健康保險支付一部分，大概是一個月 26 美元，在診所和藥店處共同支付。但其他的我得自己掏錢。不，或許它在40年前更像在幫助窮人，但現(xiàn)在這絕非實(shí)情。
Your friend is very right. Homeless want to be homeless and be giving free thing and live how they want to live. Homeless do not want to be told what to do . Just look how many are violent and cause damage to the city’s that they live in .
你朋友說的沒錯，無家可歸者就是自己想當(dāng)流浪漢，并要求他人向他們提供免費(fèi)施舍，過他們自己想要的生活。無家可歸者不想被告知自己應(yīng)該干什么。看看他們中有多少暴力分子，對他們居住的城市造成了多大的破壞。
Absolute automotive geek
Not even slightly true. Of the fraction of so-called “homeless” people living that way because they prefer it over “the grind” of working-to-stay-alive, they choose this life mainly because the government doesn’t do enough, or even makes it painstakingly hard, to manage poverty. Of people who claim benefits, the organizations issuing benefits make people jump through a bureaucratic obstacle-course… half the time forcing people to fudge the system in order to keep their sanity (catch-22s, and such). Half the benefits workers I’ve met, if not all of them, have at one point in time or another actively participated in this “fudging” just because of the idiocy of the policies. Their jobs, and what they signed on for, is to help people, these social workers, not to push people away by following the rules to a T.
Living in America at the very bottom rung of society is like living in a Leper colony. It’s a literal nightmare.
I am one of those types. The rent prices in America are bullshit. The area I live isn’t particular expensive, it’s a somewhat quiet college hub town. Prices of rent here are equivalent to the most expensive places in Europe, such as Nice, France. That’s right, I could live in Nice, France for the amount I pay to live in a mediocre town in America.
這絕對不是實(shí)情。在所謂的“無家可歸者”中，他們大多數(shù)人都不會喜歡這種生活方式，無家可歸的原因都是“維持生計困難”，他們選擇這種生活主要是因?yàn)檎龅貌粔颍踔翛]有做到盡力經(jīng)營，治理貧困。福利發(fā)放組織幫著人們跳過官僚主義的障礙……這些官僚規(guī)則有一半以上的時間都在迫使申請福利的人們捏造各種理由以保持理智（catch-22s 等）。我遇到的福利工作者中，有一半以上（如果不是全部的話）都曾在這時或者某個時間點(diǎn)積極參與這種“捏造”，都是因?yàn)楦＠叩挠薮?。這些社會工作者，他們工作以及簽字的目的是幫助這些可憐人，而不是通過遵守（愚蠢的福利政策）規(guī)則將人們推開。
美國社會最底層的階層就像生活在麻風(fēng)病隔離區(qū)，這是一個完全字面意義上的噩夢。
我就是其中一個。美國的租金價格完全發(fā)了瘋。我住的地區(qū)不是特別貴，是一個有點(diǎn)安靜的大學(xué)中心城。這里的房租價格相當(dāng)于歐洲最貴的地方，比如法國尼斯。是的，我完全可以用花在美國一個平庸小鎮(zhèn)上租房的錢費(fèi)用在法國尼斯過不錯的日子。

Dr Gene Sharp, a late Harvard professor who spent his life studying nonviolence, said that fear breeds submission. It's well worth breeding fear in the majority in order to keep them submissive to the blatant injustices in the USA today for the government.
And it's also worth the effort for the corporations, which can keep a docile workforce by keeping a number of people unemployed: “You don't want to be like them, do you?” It's called a “reserve force” of employables, so that people can be dumped into the reserve when the profit-seekers want to slow production down and to find workers when they want to increase production.
哈佛已故教授吉恩·夏普博士一生都在研究非暴力社會，他說：恐懼會滋生順從。所以在大多數(shù)人中滋生恐懼，以便讓他們屈服于當(dāng)今美國政府公然且不公的社會政策絕對是值得的。
對于公司來說，這也是值得的，它們可以通過讓一些人失業(yè)來保持勞動者的馴服和溫順：“你不想像他們一樣，對吧？” 它被稱為就業(yè)人員的“后備力量”，以便在追求利潤的資產(chǎn)階級想減慢生產(chǎn)時將人們丟進(jìn)在后備力量隊(duì)伍里，然后在他們需要增加產(chǎn)量時從中尋找工人。
Well said. Fear that America might not always be on top and entitled drives most of the loony behavior. And such a pointless fear. If they ever actually taught authentic history or just critical thinking, it would be known that ALL empires and great political structures eventually fail. Just as the best engineered machine will someday fail. Entropy is part of the nature of things; it’s how new and better things emerge.
非常正確。對美國可能并不總是處于領(lǐng)先地位的恐懼，導(dǎo)致社會有權(quán)驅(qū)使大多數(shù)的瘋狂行為，并且滋生這種毫無意義的恐懼。如果他們真的教過人們真實(shí)的歷史或是批判性思維，就會知道所有偉大的帝國和政治結(jié)構(gòu)最終都會失效。就像設(shè)計最好的機(jī)器也總有一天會失效一樣。熵是事物本質(zhì)的一部分，這就是促進(jìn)新的更好的事物出現(xiàn)的方式。

Yes, that's what comes of having runaway capitalism.
是的，這就是失控的資本主義所帶來的后果。
If a person believes 75% of homeless Americans like living that way, they are either completely ignorant on the subject or have been completely bamboozled by right-wing propaganda and FOX news.
In general, it appears the American politicians and government doesn’t care much about their own citizens, especially if they are poor or of color. In many cases, such poor and homeless Americans can’t die fast enough for their tastes. “Why aren't you rich?”
如果一個人相信美國75% 的無家可歸者是自己喜歡那樣的生活，那么他們要么是對這個問題完全一無所知，要么是完全被右翼宣傳和?？怂剐侣勑M惑了。
總的來說，美國政客和政府似乎并不怎么關(guān)心自己的公民，特別是如果他們是窮人或有色人種。在許多情況下，這些貧窮和無家可歸的美國人死得不夠快，無法滿足他們的口味。“你為什么富不起來（這完全是你自己的錯）？”
You are correct. I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and for what you pay for a one bedroom apt in LA, I could get a 2 bedroom house and half an acre of lawn. Yet, here I remain, in LA. Why? Some kind of personality disorder. I LOVE this place. Because it’s like a hundred different worlds under one roof. You CANNOT get bored in LA!…not just Chinatown but Little Tokyo, Thai-town, Little Ethiopia, Korea Town, Little Cambodia, Little Italy, Filipino Town, Little Armenia, practically all of Latin America, a large Israeli area, many Arabic and Greek communities in and around East Hollywood, and on and on. I will never leave.
你是對的。我在賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡長大，花在洛杉磯買一間一居室公寓的錢，我可以在（匹茲堡）買到一間有兩居室和半英畝草坪的房子。然而，我還是留在洛杉磯。為什么？某種人格障礙吧。我喜歡這個城市，因?yàn)樗拖褚粋€屋檐下的一百個不同的世界。你不會在洛杉磯感到無聊！總是期待著意外。而且……你會遇到一些世界上最優(yōu)秀、受過教育的人，而且……你也會遇到一些最邪惡、最危險和最無用的人。我對這東西上癮了。洛杉磯可能是歷史上第一個擁有世界上幾乎所有主要種族的城市，其數(shù)量大到足以擁有自己的村莊……不僅是唐人街，還有小東京、泰國小鎮(zhèn)、小埃塞俄比亞、小韓國、小柬埔寨、小意大利、小菲律賓、小亞美尼亞，以及幾乎整個拉丁美洲，一個很大的猶太人聚居區(qū)，好萊塢東部及其周邊的許多阿拉伯人和希臘人社區(qū)，等等。我永遠(yuǎn)不會離開。
Not my experience at all. I have been interviewing people living rough in Jacksonville for the last 20 years. Of the 150 or so people I have met the breakdown in reason for living rough are as follows
70% are addicted to drugs and or alcohol and are unwilling or incapable of functioning in a manner that would allow employment. They have burned all their social bridges and have been kicked out of shelters because they cannot stay sober.
20% are mentally ill and either are not taking medication or have not been diagnosed and as such are not stable enough to hold a job or meet the requirements of a shelter.
8% are just doing there thing.
The remainder2% are people not in any of the first three groups. In fact, I have met a grand total of one person in this time that falls into this group. He was a handyman who was stiffed on a months wages by a customer. He lived on the streets for 20 days while he made up his loss. So 2% in my experience in Jacksonville, FL is generous. T is a myth to think most people living rough are mentally healthy people who are just down on their luck.
你朋友所說的完全不是我的體會。在過去的 20 年里，我一直在采訪艱難地生活在杰克遜維爾的人。在我采訪過的150多人中，生活艱難的原因細(xì)分如下：
70% 的人對毒品和/或酒精上癮，并且不愿意或無法以工作等方式重新改變。他們摧毀了所有的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)，并因?yàn)闊o法保持清醒而被趕出流浪漢收容所。
20%的人患有精神疾病，要么沒有按時服藥，要么沒有被診斷出來，因此不夠穩(wěn)定，無法從事工作或滿足流浪漢收容所的要求。
8% 就是在那兒宅著。
其余 2% 是不屬于前三組群體中任何一組的人。事實(shí)上，我在這段時間里總共只遇到過一個屬于這類群體的人。他是一個勤雜工，被一個顧客拖欠了一個月的工資。他在街頭流浪了20天，以彌補(bǔ)他的損失。因此，根據(jù)我在佛羅里達(dá)州杰克遜維爾的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，只有2%左右是符合你朋友所說情況的。認(rèn)為大多數(shù)生活艱難的人都是心理健康的、只是由于運(yùn)氣不佳而無家可歸的，這是在說謊。
What about the disabled people who can’t afford a place to live. We don’t meet the financial requirements to apply at housing developments. These developments that are supposed to be low income. That is low income for working class not lowest income residents such as the disabled. I don’t want to live on the street I want a place to live and pay my bills. Btw I live in Fl and there is nothing available for someone who makes less than $14,000 a yr. So your disabled Americans are not being protected by fair housing!!!!!
那些買不起房的殘疾人呢？我們不符合申請住房開發(fā)項(xiàng)目的財務(wù)要求。這本應(yīng)是對低收入工人階級的要求，而不應(yīng)該是對殘疾人等最低收入人群的要求。我不想住在街上，我需要一個地方住并支付賬單。順便說一句，我住在佛羅里達(dá)州，對于年收入低于 14,000 美元的人來說，什么都沒有。所以殘疾的美國人沒有得到公平住房的保護(hù)?。。。?！
My friend claims that 70-80% of homeless people in the USA are living that way because they like it, not because they are poor. The government generally takes care of all poor people. Is it true?
As an American who has spent my ENTIRE life in abject poverty I just want to laugh my ass off at the idea that the government is taking care of us. In all seriousness, there ARE government welfare programs but they leave much to be desired and they often get their funding cut. An awful lot of Americans get their panties all up in a bunch whenever they find out you're on any given welfare program (from food stamps to disability benefits) ESPECIALLY if they so much as suspect you don't “deserve” them.
What's not to like about being homeless? There's loads of perverts around who would love nothing more than to degrade and humiliate you. Depending on where exactly you live and what time of the year it is, you could face freezing to death or dying of heat stroke. Wouldn't you KILL to have the opportunity to live like this?
You need to befriend some more “woke” people.
你朋友聲稱，美國 70-80% 的無家可歸者之所以這樣生活，是因?yàn)樗麄兿矚g這樣，而不是因?yàn)樗麄兒芨F。政府一般會照顧所有窮人。這是真的嗎？
作為一個一輩子都在赤貧中度過的美國佬，我只想對政府正在照顧我們的想法苦笑一下。嚴(yán)肅地說，政府福利計劃確實(shí)有，但它們有很多不足之處，而且經(jīng)常被削減資金。每當(dāng)他們發(fā)現(xiàn)你參加任何特定的福利計劃（從食品券到殘疾福利）時，特別是如果他們懷疑你“不配”時，就會有很多人開始小題大做。
有誰會喜歡無家可歸？周圍有很多變態(tài)，他們只會貶低和羞辱你。取決于你呆著的地方和時間，你隨時可能會面臨凍死或中暑死亡。像這樣生活，你干嘛不干脆自殺算了？

Whilst there will always be a few people who enjoy the freedom of a vagrant lifestyle, the majority are homeless because they’ve slipped through the cracks in society, a lost job, unexpected medical bills, messy divorce, mental illness, they can all lead someone on the slippery slope to homelessness, and the Government definitely doesn’t take care of them

I’d say it’s more like 7 or 8%. I just made that up, but I do think it’s the exception, not the rule. Government housing, has a very long waiting list where I live, years. A welfare check and food stamps is not enough money to prevent homelessness. It’s barely enough to cover food and bus fare. The government does not take care of all poor people. We have a social safety net that helps, but it’s not enough to keep people off the streets, not even close. I’m no expert but I’ve volunteered at a homeless shelter. I got the impression that most of the homeless had mental issues, or social issues, probably couldn’t get through a job interview with any success. We provided showers, clean clothes, an address, a phone number, all a person needs to get it together and job hunt, but it’s not enough for many. Although some take full advantage and do all they can to get back to taking care of themselves. Even if someone prefers this lifestyle, because competing in the economy is too overwhelming, or they’re just not capable, I think they’d still like a warm, safe place to sleep at night and our society has not stepped up. It’s miserable to live on the street. A shelter is not a secure home 365 days a year. At most, we’re able to keep people from freezing to death, and sometimes we fail at that.
我會說這個比例更像是 7% 或 8%。我只是腦補(bǔ)出來的，但我確實(shí)認(rèn)為這是少數(shù)，而不是大部分。政府住房，在我住的地方有非常長的等候名單，好幾年了。福利支票和食品券不足以讓人無家可歸。這幾乎不足以支付食物和公共交通的費(fèi)用。政府沒有照顧所有窮人。我們有一個社會安全網(wǎng)可以提供幫助，但這甚至還不足以讓人們遠(yuǎn)離街道。我不是專家，但我曾在無家可歸者收容所做過志愿者。我的印象是，大多數(shù)無家可歸的人都有心理或社會問題，可能無法通過成功的面試。我們提供了淋浴、干凈的衣服、地址、電話號碼，所有這些都是一個人聚集在一起和找工作所需的，但這對很多人來說還不夠。盡管有些人充分利用并竭盡全力恢復(fù)自己照顧自己。即使有人喜歡這種生活方式，因?yàn)樵诮?jīng)濟(jì)中競爭太激烈，或者他們只是沒有能力，我認(rèn)為他們?nèi)匀幌Ｍ谕砩嫌幸粋€溫暖、安全的地方睡覺，而我們的社會還沒有進(jìn)步。流落街頭非常可憐。庇護(hù)所并不是一年365天都安全的家。最多我們能夠讓人們免于凍死，但有時我們?nèi)詴 ?/b>

No, they do not like it!
People find themselves on the street for millions of reasons. Our Vets come home from war and can’t get a job. People get fired from a job and can’t find a new one. Companies send work to Mexico, etc. and put thousands out on the street because they can’t make mortgage payment. The government closed all mental facilities and orphanages, so hundreds ended up on the street. Girls and boys are sexually abused in their home, and they run away with no money and end up on the street or working for a pimp. The gov’t should be taking care of the homeless rather than sending millions/billions to overseas countries. Why would we give Ireland money? I don’t know, but I read that we did.
不，沒人喜歡這樣！

That is not true at all, this country hates poor people. Most American view the poor as just parasites on society sucking the lifeblood of this country dry. No. No one would want to be thought of like that. The poor do not choose to be poor. The worst of them are victims of bad habits developed from childhoods of neglect and mistreatment. Most of them are stuck in negative feedback loops of working low paying jobs that pay just not enough to keep a roof over their heads. They want to pursue better things but they can’t. That takes time and money, two things they don’t have.

Yes there are a rare few that like living nomadically and enjoy and unencumbered life but no one wants to be unable to provide themselves with basic human necessities of life

Of course not. In my opinion, TODAY’S brand of right winger is as potentially destructive as the far left. Actually, more dangerous because the militias are far more organized, disciplined and have access to more resources; for every George Soros, there’s a Koch brother bankrolling extreme ideologies. The far rights refusal to acknowledge the heavy toll on society that contempt for black folks has exacted, the historic marginalization of gays; these things lead inevitably to excesses on the left.

Hi. I have a couple of questions about your friend who is making the assumption that 70 to 80% of us homeless are living this way because we all apparently like it.
First question: Does your friend understand the fact that if he can't afford to pay his rent that his landlord probably won't like it too much, evict your friend so that someone who is able to pay rent can move in?
Second: Is your friend aware of the fact that there are many people living in abusive situations, they don't want to continue being in their situation and often move away from their abuser regardless if it means being homeless?
Third: Has your friend read anything aside from fiction (sci-Fi, fantasy?), meaning is your friend completely oblivious to what has happened in the history of a country like the United States. Things like the great depression happened in 1929, and the great recession in 2008.
It is actually humerous to think that homelessness happens to people with chemical dependence issues. Or to people suffering from some mental illness issues. The fact of the matter is that if you are spending above 30% of your income on rent alone. You have a good chance of becoming homeless yourselves. When that occurs. You to can be on the receiving end of all of the negative opinions concerning what causes homelessness.
Hmmm. I wonder what has happened to people's jobs since the Pandemic became an issue. I sincerely apologize to those of you who are going to end up being homeless because of the Coronavirus.
However, to those of you who are still of the opinion that being crazy, or being a drunk etc.. Are the root cause of experiencing homelessness.
Let the next 9 months be a wake up call for you.
你好。我有幾個關(guān)于你的朋友的問題，他假設(shè)70%到80% 的無家可歸者顯然都喜歡都這樣生活。
第一個問題：你的朋友是否明白，如果他付不起房租，他的房東可能不會太高興，他會驅(qū)逐你的朋友，讓有能力支付房租的人搬進(jìn)來？

And now here we are in 2021 under a fake global pandemic to bring in a global dictatorship and population control. The middle class are being weeded out. Many have lost their small business. People are without work or have very little work. We will be seeing more turning to panhandling, prostitution, drug dealing and stealing. We have tent cities and the government preventing noble people from helping the homeless with built temporary shelters (Toronto, ON Canada). People need to wake up and take action now before they loose even more of their freedom.

“Because they like it” is a very misleading phrase. I doubt you’d find many who tell you they actually like being homeless. But there are many homeless who are there because they have made choices that put them there. Many homeless shelters require the resident to be sober and drug-free, and many people choose not to be sober and not to give up the drugs, thereby “choosing” to be homeless. Others may choose not to follow draconian rules. I would hesitate to quote a percentage, but this is what it means when someone “l(fā)ikes it” that way.

No it isn't true. Registered sex offenders can't find a place to live because of all the legalities and harassment, so being homeless is the best option.
The only way to survive really is to only accept positions that are consistent in daily hours and fulltime. It is very important to only accept jobs that immediately offer: Affordable Medical Insurance, 401K, Retirement Pay, Overtime Pay, Sick Pay, Family Sick Pay, Paid Vacation…
We're all in this situation and really the United States need to make provisions or policies to help the poor. Many know it isn't going to help matters just by accepting any job. All folks should refuse job offers: that are under the table, requiring you to work extra time unless they pay according to your state's labor laws, that are commission only, that make you pay for your own gas and car insurance when the job requires you to drive, under $20 an hour, that are salary (they will overwork you equaling your pay to state minimum), don't accept part time especially split shift or rotational shift, oh and don't fall for the “pay us: to train you, for your sales kit, for samples, for the supplies, for your uniform” that is their money making scam…
Hey rich people when you are ready to do the right thing please make an announcement for all homeless people to know you will give them a job without requiring a home address, good credit, clean legal records, and more importantly punctuality.
Many have medical conditions or court order regulations that will have to be accommodated. Some have children that will need to be taken to school and picked up from school. When the child gets sick the parent has to stay with the child until healthy again. More often parents end up ill in which cannot work. Are you willing to continually pay for those absent days for doctors, probation officers, court days, childcare isn't an option when children become ill …

Not sure how you would measure such a thing. People “choosing to be homeless” certainly is a real phenomenon, but is extremely unlikely to be 70–80% of all homeless people. Mental health problems, severe substance addiction/abuse problems, and abusive domestic situations (or all of the above) are common causes of homelessness. Dropping out of society by choice happens but is lower down on the list. And those that do “choose it” are often already suffering from one of the conditions above. If your options are stay in your home where you are sexually abused or live on the street, it's not really a choice. It's like deciding between being shot to death or being stabbed to death. Just because you pick one or the other doesn't mean you want it to happpen.
While true that the government and various private institutions and charities do provide a great many services and resources for the poor, there are limits to what they can provide, and these are often regional so in some geographic areas they can be completely overrun. These entities also typically require a certain level of cooperation and engagement that is very simple to manage for the kinds of people who don't actually need these services but can be very difficult for someone who already fell through the cracks in society, often precisely because they struggle with these sorts of things: staying sober, filling out paperwork, dealing with authority figures, problem solving, doing research, providing documentation, keeping track of information, showing up at specific places at specific times, getting along with others, following rules, etc.
The middle and upper classes are primarily the ones designing, funding, and operating these systems. They don't intentionally make them hard to access, but what seems like a simple and obvious requirement to them such as “we aren't going to help you if you're doing illegal drugs” can be a real problem for someone who is already physically addicted to illegal drugs. So there is lots of assistance, but it's scope can be somewhat limited.
不知道你會如何衡量這樣的事情。人們“選擇無家可歸”當(dāng)然是一個真實(shí)的現(xiàn)象，但極不可能占所有無家可歸者的 70-80%。心理健康問題、嚴(yán)重的物質(zhì)成癮/濫用問題和虐待家庭情況（或以上所有情況）是無家可歸的常見原因。有選擇地退出社會的情況，但在名單上的位置較低。而那些“選擇它”的人往往已經(jīng)患有上述情況之一。如果你的選擇是留在遭受性虐待的家中或流落街頭，那真的不是一個選擇。這就像在被槍殺或被刺死之間做出選擇。僅僅因?yàn)槟氵x擇其中一個并不意味著你希望它發(fā)生。
盡管政府和各種私人機(jī)構(gòu)和慈善機(jī)構(gòu)確實(shí)為窮人提供了大量服務(wù)和資源，但它們所能提供的服務(wù)和資源是有限的，而且這些服務(wù)通常是區(qū)域性的，因此在某些地理區(qū)域中它們可能會被完全覆蓋。這些實(shí)體通常還需要一定程度的合作和參與，這對于那些實(shí)際上并不需要這些服務(wù)的人來說非常容易管理，但對于那些已經(jīng)在社會中陷入困境的人來說可能非常困難，通常正是因?yàn)樗麄冊谶@些事情上掙扎：保持清醒，填寫文書工作，與權(quán)威人物打交道，解決問題，進(jìn)行研究，提供文件，跟蹤信息，在特定時間出現(xiàn)在特定地點(diǎn)，與他人相處，遵守規(guī)則， 等等。
中上階層主要是設(shè)計、資助和運(yùn)營這些系統(tǒng)的人。他們并不是故意讓他們難以獲得，但對他們來說似乎簡單而明顯的要求，例如“如果你在吸毒，我們不會幫助你”對于那些吸毒的人來說可能是一個真正的問題身體已經(jīng)對非法毒品上癮了。所以有很多幫助，但它的范圍可能比較有限。

No, the government doesn’t take care of poor people who try hard. About 70–80% of homeless people are temporarily homeless. They lose a job, lose insurance, and have someone get sick. Or they end up moving somewhere with a rental falling through. Or something else. Many are back on their feet by the time the government gets around to looking through paperwork. There’s a huge safety net for people who buy in to the culture of welfare, but there’s little actual support for people who are trying but falling on hard times occasionally.

This answer of mine to another question is relevant here.
Homelessness is due to to the difficulty in finding homes in places where people earn their income. Homeless people in California may (can) have homes elsewhere, and they may not stay even if the residence is provided in the suburb. They want to live in downtown areas where they can get some income. This would make the rehabilitation efforts of the governmental and non-governmental organisations less effective

Your friend is totally ill-informed on all counts. While this might be because they have bought into the usual loopy “news” sources, odds are they feel bad and feel incapable of helping.
The largest cohort of homeless are … children. They get priority coverage in shelters and with programs, but the programs are hopelessly underfunded and understaffed.
Most homeless have a full-time job, they often have two part-time jobs.
They are often assaulted, robbed, and the abuse is endless.
Homelessness is a trap - easy to fall into and nearly impossible to escape on your own.
And most of the homeless do not have mental issues or substance abuse issues - until they are homeless.
It is a very, very painful and dangerous condition. A simple scrape, toothache, or bout of diarrhea is suddenly potentially lethal.

無家可歸是一個陷阱——很容易掉進(jìn)去，靠自己幾乎不可能逃脫。

In order to overcome that tendency it is not sufficient to exhibit the true; it is also necessary to expose and denounce the false. To admit that the false has any standing in court, that it ought to be handled gently because millions of morons cherish it and thousands of quacks make their livings propagating it—to admit this, as the more fatuous of the reconcilers of science and religion inevitably do, is to abandon a just cause to its enemies, cravenly and without excuse.”

I'm only going to affirm what pretty much everyone else said, but I have a weird example too. This assumption seems like a way to not deal with the problem. True not everyone who is homeless is poor, but most are. I can't think of any time a homeless person expressed they liked it, but preferring it to some other bad situation, yeah. I appreciate you asking to clarify and not just assuming your friend was right.
My dad is currently homeless. He works as an athletic trainer. He walks around well groomed and clothed. Looking at him or talking with him, he doesn't seem homeless at all. He does always carry around big backpacks with his belongings (being an athlete, he claims he's using it to workout). I believe he normally sleeps on busses, trains, movie theaters or parks whenever he has down time. We moved out our home and he just never got back into a house. Probably stayed in his car, but he let that go too. He's a very interesting case to me, probably in the category of stable means and mental condition but just more comfortable with not having to pay for so much stuff. Anyway, not necessarily poor, he doesn't rely on government aid.

No government doesn’t provide for almost anyone who doesn’t have children. Even food stamps were only for 3 months for adults in the 70s when I had them. TANF and other benefits aren’t enough for housing and section 8 takes about a decade to get.
The poor choose homeless over the other choices sometimes. To stay homed you need to get along with family and friends, stay sober, take your mental health medicine and work more than one job. The work might be really hard or stressful but if you want to live indoors you do what you need to do. Long term you need to gain job skills, you can’t plan to live on one part time minimum wage job and not even have an emergency fund and have it work out. Spending on alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other waste of money makes it harder to stay indoors.
沒有政府不為幾乎沒有孩子的任何人提供服務(wù)。70 年代我有食品券時，成年人的食品券也只有 3 個月。TANF 和其他福利對于住房來說是不夠的，第 8 部分（即由政府提供廉租房或代繳租金）需要大約十年才能獲得。
