Why are homeless people so messy? Is it really so hard to find a trash can?

I realize that people end up in bad situations, for any number of reasons, but why must there be piles of trash all around them? MOUNTAINS of trash.

Look at cities, counties and states that run out of money. Trash on the sides of the roadways, pavement markers barely visible, unfilled potholes ...

In some cultures neatness cost money.

In other cultures there's a fundamental sense of order and neatness, where just throwing a tiny speck of litter will get one arrested; but very few get arrested because everyone shares the same sense of order and neatness.
