Choosing a one of two sides without a thorough discussion of each is an exercise in ignorance.

You're dodging the question. Everyone else in this thread has stated their opinion pro or con. Are you calling everyone else in here ignorant?

Agreed. You said anyone could quickly become homeless. I said any homeless could quickly become not homeless. I merely suggested the opposite hypothesis.

For many being homeless is indeed temporary and only lasts a short while. But for others it lasts months or even years. And while those who find themselves homeless for a short while are usually just folks "down on their luck", those who are chronically homeless have far higher instances of mental issues, hardcore drug addictions, or both.
