Found an interesting poll about homelessness on The Hill website which I found a bit alarming. I find it alarming that 19% just don't care at all. It has over a million responses. Just wondering if you feel the same way?

If I were to vote it would be Not concerned at all. But that is because homelessness is very rare in Norway (6.2 per 10k population). The state is pretty good at providing shelter for you if you can't do it yourself.
If I were in the UK (56.1 per 10k) or the US (19.5 per 10k), I would vote Very concerned. I think it is shocking that so called developed countries do not provide shelter for their residents. When I tour the UK I see noticeable numbers of homeless people. I was in a cafe in Cheltenham this summer chatting to the owner and he said that sometimes he can't open the front doors of his cafe because of people sleeping in front of them (the doors open outwards).
