> Homelessness is largely driven by personal choice

Ha! Really? I am homeless. Disabled with a serious mental illness. I just cannot afford housing anymore. Living out of my minivan.

Not my choice. I do not even have a psychiatrist or therapist anymore.

> There are ample government and private support mechanisms, including housing and food, but most choose not to take advantage.

This is the biggest myth neoliberals tell themselves to feel better. I agev up. Seven years on a section 8 housing list then they just dumped me with no explanation.
