content: the reason people ascribe being homeless to 'inability to work' is obviously shortsighted.  Expectations is the reason people are homeless: expectations of the American dream fell short, expectations in a relationship fell short, expectations in family, school, ones willpower fell short.  These people who stay in a city to be on electronic gadgets, smoking cigarette butts, obviously in pain of some sort; Clinging is also another great word to describe the why. I'm homeless and because it fits for me to be so given the town i live in.  I have established resources here and living in the woods is plenty nice.
