That's a gigantic, optimistic assumption.

Don't assume. Your life is nothing like theirs. You have no idea what it's like. I know some of them; I have no idea what they face on the daily.

Not fearing being kicked in the middle of the night while you sleep is part of the privilege that keeps you from understanding what they live in.

How is my assumption optimistic? I assumed all homeless people are estranged from families. That is a pessimistic assumption. It’s bad for everyone.

What are you meaning here?
