What if a part of it isn't really a problem? What if certain people will never be motivated enough to comply with all the requirements imposed on us by society, and will always prefer to make trouble and get drunk and sleep outside?

This isn't true for every bum or homeless person you see, of course. But it is true for some of them. And then, the problem becomes yours (or mine).. I want everyone to have to make the same sacrifices and play by the same rules I do. I had to spend my youth studying, I had to impress someone with the power to give me a job, and work to keep them happy, etc.

I believe thats the fundamental conflict we face and why homelessness will never be solved.
