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.

Homeless street people are in a different category of homeless. Often, they are haters of authority, schizophrenic and paranoid. Sometimes they are former military suffering from PTSD and depression. Or they are drug users suffering from intense drug induced depression. When they are able to rouse themselves for any reason, they don't want to leave their few possessions...because they know they will be stolen, and if they have staked out a spot where no one will bother them, they also know that if they pack up their possessions to "take out the trash", their spot will be gone when they return.

@4meAndyou I think we should be allowed to just shoot the bastards if the city officials are not willing to take care of these people ie. educate them or find a fenced in area to put them in and let them live in their own mess away from people that are willing to clean up after themselves.

@acpguy I am shocked with you. Sometimes you seem as though you have good values, and at other times you go right over the edge of what is even permissible in civilized society. These people are NOT "bastards", and you should never speak so casually of shooting someone you know nothing about. You may incite a genuinely crazy person who might read this to go out and shoot a homeless vet with PTSD.
