I would say I judge people then based on there most dominant trait.
If a person is homeless due to an mental illness then they are mentally ill not homeless in my book and there should be an organization for that.
If a person is homeless due to an addiction to drugs then they are not homeless in my book and there should be an orgainzation to help them with that.
If a person is homeless because he has decieded that he would rather not work and would rather live on welfare instead of taking a job at a fast food restaurant that is beneath him, I have no sympathy.
Now I am not saying the above people aren't homeless but they don't fall in my definition of homeless which I have no sympathy for.
One question I might ask though is "What prevents people from leaving this city and moving to a less costly city if they are working three jobs to make ends meet. Honest question hoping for a honest response.
