What? I think most people who advocate for the homeless are advocating for the full spectrum of people. Most of the homeless - addicted, mentally ill, down on their luck, etc - aren't really there by "choice" in any meaningful meaning of the word.

Most of the advocacy I've seen specifically points out that the majority of homeless are not the people you see on the street. Meanwhile, just about 100% of the outrage I see on FB and Nextdoor is directed at the people you see living on the street.
