05/14/2008 |  some of the homeless may not mind and some have had problems they brought on themselves. such as drinking and drug use. Not everyone. it is very expensive to survive these days. I am afraid of my own fate lately. my husband lost his job after 23 years. we are actively trying for a job but in Michigan unemployment is high. I am scared to death of the thought of being homeless. I know a few people personally who have lost homes most of them did not bring it on themselves. scarey times cruel to assume we asked for this. update: the state we live in and the county we live in has a huge amount of foreclosers on homes. these are people who did hold down jobs and tried to make ends meet and lost their jobs or fell behind on payments. Not everyone asked or brought this on themselves. I am still terrified of losing our home. and we did everything we were supposed to do to eek out a living and the thought of lost paychecks is scary. right now Michigan the state i live in, is the second worst for unemployment, one of the worst for forclosesures of homes.so no not everyone brought homelessness on themselves.

05/14/2008 | not a fair assumption (if there is such a thing). Sure it may be the case for some that bad decisions and lack of determination landed them on the streets, but for some it may truly be out of their control. In either case, we are to show compassion, patience and mercy.

05/14/2008 | Of course not all homeless people. Just the ones asking me for "spare change."

05/14/2008 | Most, but not all. Some people simply have no choice. But those who do have a choice yet they choose to live on the streets are rebels or irresponsible.

01/16/2008 | Good point Genghis, it is expensive to care for them, but what we do now instead of spending $40-50,000 a year caring for them, we instead force them out into the streets fending for themselves. This creates crime since most people in such a position have no/limited choice in the matter. People that end up back into a life of crime end up in jail or prison as a result. Therefore we instead end up spending at least $40-50,000 placing them in another institution called prison. Exactly the root of what is wrong with this world.

01/11/2008 | It is darn sad that the druggies, drunkards and such who have become homeless supporting their stupid habits make it so hard for the honest people who have simply hit hard times enough to lose everything, even their homes. And with the way things are going these days, there are bound to be more.

12/01/2007 | I agree with LadyJesusFan. My own view on this, I wonder sometimes is it better to be out of the rat race and, on the streets. I know that cannot be so. But I am sick of greedy damn landlords, and money hungry pigs that are sucking people dry of their hard earned money. I said it time and time again, this country wants to make hell on It's citizens, and give plentyful to illegal aliens.

12/01/2007 | There but for the grace of God go I. Bad timing, the loss of a job, a desease, any number of things could change your life and your lifestyle in a heartbeat. That said, there are plenty of people sponging off the rest of us.
I don't mind helping someone and I have given money to homeless people plenty of times. If someone scams me that's on them. They'll have to answer for it not me.

12/01/2007 | Some yes, some no. . .they are the chewed-up-and-spat-out used wads of gum that capitalism spits out. . .it's a tough situation and I wish that signing a check would be enough but (in many cities) the problem is only growing.

05/03/2007 | I really think it is very unfair. Some may bring it on
themselves, but this is not true for everyone who is homeless.
People should really know what they are talking about before they
speak. Being homeless could happen to anyone any time, even those
who may be rich.

03/29/2007 | If it hadn't been for either of my grandmother's, I'd have been homeless many of times. And, had I been homeless, it would have been the fault of my stepfather who was using the rent/bill money on drugs and hookers without my mother's knowledge. When she finally found out the kind of man he was, she left him and we have been with her mother (my grandmother) ever since.

03/21/2007 | This is a horrible statement! Whereas I believe that some do cause their own demise, I do not believe all are to blame. I would say there is a mixture of reasons why people are homeless, not that they all brought it on themselves!!!

03/20/2007 | I agree with Hun, some people spend there money on drugs and such, that get themselves homeless. People who take drugs like meth, especially meth, will do anything to get it, that includes killing, stealing, and selling there home. If some poor person asked for money, I'd have a sneaking suspicion what they're going to use it for.

03/20/2007 | About half of the homelessness is caused by behavior and half by illness. I am not that worried about the behavior types. They cause their own grief.
As to the sick people, we used to take care of them in state mental hospitals. Then about 35 years ago, the bright idea went around that we should clear out the institutions where these people were getting care, food, medicine and attention, and "mainstream" them into the communities. I guess by magic, they were going to get better. All the sick people who followed them are in the same boat.
What a great idea! We dumped all those poor souls out and they had no skills, could learn none, and had no place to go. What a terrible mistake! You have to provide for the ill, but it is expensive. I suppose $40,000 to $50,000 per year, per person is a good estimate.
