What an insulting generalization of homeless people. Is that how you rationalize it in your head - these people find "relief" in sleeping on the sidewalk because they couldn't find their place in society?
Did you ask those homeless people why they didn't want to go to the shelter? I remember speaking with a 60+ year old homeless woman in NYC once who told me she refused to go to the shelter because it was filled with crazy people. Also you have to check out of the shelter every day, and if you don't check back in by a certain time, then they can't let you in. It shouldn't come as a surprise that many would prefer to sleep on the streets than deal with that.
> Best solution so far is a social one where people help them find a new sense of achievement and a place in society.
This is why I'm a proponent of a jobs guarantee. Anyone who wants to work should not be denied the opportunity to do so.
> Drugs is also a big problem and probably where all the money from universal income would go to.
Yes, because all homeless people are drug addicts right? /s
