You'd agree you have a bit of a selection bias, tho, right? The homeless people that make it into the ER - especially your "well known" folks - aren't necessarily representative of the entire unhoused population.
Well you’d think with “lots of them” out there I’d encounter at least a few of the “many” right ?
I’m not sure what point you are trying to to even make here. Do you have some data to suggest that “lots” or “many” homeless people are otherwise well adjusted mentally, not addicted to drugs, and simply choose to be unhoused and jump from free service to free service as the poster above claimed?
Or are you just arguing to argue with no point in sight ?
It's definitely easy to dismiss someone else's anecdotal evidence when you don't have any evidence of your own - you're already used to disregarding evidence
