each person has their own story. Some homeless folks are victims are circumstance, some are victims of their own decisions.
homelessness is a pretty hard position to dig oneself out of. It's hard to get a job when you don't have a place to shower. Just about any help we give panhandlers is just a stopgap, of course it's not addressing the underlying situation, or giving them a chance to change the direction their life is heading... but that won't stop me from helping out when I can. I just hate it when people try to feed me some bullshit story.
