I've know a few homesless guys and some of them are straight up unable to function as a regular member of society. Lovely people with good hearts but cannot handle a regular day to day life. Kind of you to reach out to him.

we used to have a society where there was a place for people who couldn't cope and village life was simpler too

I just found out that an old friend who went homeless died recently at 41. I knew him when he was about 23. Great welder. Tried to sleep with me a few times which was kinda flattering, he was a gentleman about it. RIP Benny.
