Could it be that it's a case of rents taking up more than their unemployment income including rental subsidy? Greed being good and all that....
I guess they can, for example, afford shear accommodation.
Not easy when many of them have mental issues as well... usually those are made worse, not better, buy the stresses of living on the streets..
At one time during my wanderings, I 'shared' a house with three other guys - one was a raging schizo, one a drug addicted young guy from a violent background, the other, the only decent one, a guy with serious brain damage caused by being thrown from the passenger seat of a car.
The schiz would do nasty things behind people's backs all the time, the druggo once threatened me with a knife and got decked, he did that while I was taking the schizo to task over putting burnt food from a saucepan in the jacket of my coat hanging in the wardrobe... that's the kind of thing he used to pull and then he'd play the innocent when anyone from the organisation that ran the show came around...
Needless to say I didn't stay there long... can you imagine that kind of stress at a time when you are watching your life collapse after years of hard work, honesty, loyalty and so forth?
bugger City Hall! I want to see it all go up in flames - but unlike the Abo sheila in Malbun - I've got cause.. and Just Cause it is, too!
