Reply to comment by kstinfo in Two-thirds of McPherson Square homeless remain on street, D.C. says by SnortingCoffee

This isn’t remotely true. There are some estimates that proportion of people don’t have cash reserves on hand to handle an emergency with cash if they didn’t get a paycheck— but that doesn’t mean they’d be homeless. There are lots of sources of liquidity most people can tap before that happens, nevermind getting some temporary help from family or friends.

I addressed that in an earlier comment, "Sure, it isn't a straight drop, there are catch holds along the way but all are temporary."

There are too many people who would rather starve themselves than see someone else get a free meal.
