‘Hobos’ might be an appropriate term to use.
“‘Hobos’ might be an appropriate term to use.”
I think better terms than “homeless” are mentally ill, druggies and alcoholics. The term homeless is meant to make us think these are just unfortunate people who have no role beyond bad circumstances in why they are homeless.
There is nothing innocent about most of these people. Also, there is nothing you can do to help them. If you put them in a home, they’ll loot it and leave it destroyed and too polluted to use. By making believe they are just “homeless” we allow this to continue.
