Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against homeless people. A lot of them are really cool people, and can be fun to talk to.

Only one problem, though. A local mental hospital in my area just shut down due to lack of funding, and all the "harmless" patients--that is, the non-violent schizophrenics-- just ended up on the street. That said, any homeless person you run into in my town may be a guy who's fell on hard times, and may be literally insane. That makes it a little hard just to hang out with bums around where I live.
