It was sad because these people lost their life on street. Maybe because of cold, maybe famine, maybe disease. It is a shame for the US to left people live in this conditions.
I don't know why being homeless is common in here and I'ld like to know. Some say they choose to live on streets, others say they some of them are mentally ill.
Long story short, this is not the American Dream, this is American nightmare, this is madness.
Pay less money on weapons and army. First, sustain the citizens humanistic lifestyle, at least sustain each person's main needs like shelter, food, and education.
Hi Zafer, I agree, homelessness in the US is a sad situation, and it is a bit of a mystery why we allow it to continue. I too feel that we could fix the situation with relatively little effort if it were a priority for people or institutions with power and money. I have volunteered with several homeless resource centers, and there are a lot of patterns that seem to correlate with homelessness. Mental illness is indeed one factor, as are family trauma that has left people unable to support or interconnect with loved ones, physical illness, disabilities, previous incarceration, and military service. This last one is commonly seen as ironic because Americans claim to support servicemen and women, but then do not sufficiently support veterans when they come home. Programs like the Arch and Caritas do good work, but it is not sufficient for the issues that people have. Social workers are overburdened, underpaid, and understaffed. Much needs to be done to improve this crisis!
