The question should be have you ever walked through a homeless camp interviewing the homeless to see why they have chosen to live the life that they do?
I have and some of the folks had multiple degrees and were far more educated than I or my friend was that went with me. Most squawked that they did not want to be bothered by "Regular Societies" rules and regulations that they wanted to live as free and uninhibited in their daily lives. They had their own communities and rules, and they lived like they wanted too.
Now there are the drug dependent homeless and mentally ill homeless as well.
I learned you cannot bundle all homeless into one category, and that none of them want the non-homeless to interfere with how they have chosen to live.
So, give what you feel like giving them and if asked for help by a homeless person then by alights help them.
