The homeless are nomadic. they move to wherever they can get more of
whatever they need. There are homeless everywhere, not just in the
urban centers... there are more homeless now than there were just a
few years ago in the very rural village where I live... they are not
burdonsome but they are here. Some here are living in cars. They use
the bathrooms in supermarkets to clean up as best they can. Many are
Veterans with severe health issues who the VA won't/can't help... they
refuse to live in the sub par crowded conditions the VA supplies and I
don't blame them, they are safer living on the streets. The few who
congregate here will be gone as soon as winter arrives, there is
nowhere to escape the bitter cold.
