For most, it's a choice... depending on their lifestyle. Many of the homeless here in Midtown Detroit could've been in decent shape if they laid down the crack pipe back in the 80s. The economy doesn't help matters, but these are the same people that have been co-signing Rick James (Cocaine... it's a hell of a drug...) since the last time the Hawks were a LEGIT playoff contender.

However, when I lived in Alexandria, VA - in their shelter - there were nothing but working class people (and some families) that lived there. Some had cars... they just couldn't afford the astronomical cost of living in the Greater Washington area (the reason I came "back" to Detroit)
