There are also a number of people who are technically homeless but staying with people on a kind of transient and unstable basis. These are also among the parents of the over 100k homeless students in public school.

I get that but we're specifically talking about the homeless in the context of violent or aggressive mentally unstable homeless people. If you are couch surfing there are people taking care of you to some degree and you're less likely to be one of those guys on the subway or street people complain about.

My comment was essentially that you've undercounted the homeless on the whole. Takes nothing away from the discussion at hand.
