Homeless people who live in tents inside homeless encampments are gypsies. If you don't know by now, never trust a gypsy ... they are desperate people who live moment by moment and would steal everything from you if the opportunity presented itself.

@swirlie I'm not saying they are not desperate and won't do anything to you but people set up camp as being homeless is a trap. Sometimes people don't want to give them jobs and if you don't have an id due to having no home it gets more complicated.
Some people don't have a choice.

I've always wondered why most homeless people don't walk around on crutches, don't stand on the street corner wearing sunglasses playing a violin with a monkey on their back and one leg missing from their body, nor do homeless people use payphones to call their counsellors. They use cellphones, they smoke cigarettes and they all seem to have a pretty good gig going on until the cops show up. If I offered any one of them a job, they'd not likely take it because it would interfere with their social life.
