Re: Would like your opinion....
Quite a few are but certainly not most, over here anyway. With the cut backs in health spending on the institutes, a lot of people with mental and other disorders find themselves homeless. There are of course, those who choose to be homeless for family reasons etc..Re: Would like your opinion....
It seems that some researcher put forth stats. that claim most homeless people in USA are see drug addicts. That is so far from the truth it isn't funny.Re: Would like your opinion....
In our city there are a lot of homeless people because the mental hospital was closed years ago due to government cutbacks and the people were turned out onto the street. I live near downtown so I really notice it every where I go. They stay around downtown because that's where the missions and soup kitchens are located. My son lives in Toronto and the homeless population is huge there. I think a lot of the homeless people have ruined their ties with their families due to drugs and alcohol, but I'm sure there are many other issues as well, such as job losses.Re: Would like your opinion....
Some of those statistics maybe true, but then one has to ask which came first, homelessness or drug abuse. Some people made homeless through no fault of their own, then resort to drug abuse as a way of mental release from their desparate situation. This also equally applies to some alcoholics too.Re: Would like your opinion....
