Q Extraordinarily, Australia has the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)’s third-highest rate of homelessness. The highest homeless rate in the OECD languishes with New Zealand. Though the USA is harsher on its poor and homeless, nevertheless, proportion to population, Australia and New Zealand have more homeless people. 特别是,澳大利亚拥有经济合作与发展组织(OECD)无家可归的第三高比率。 经合组织最高的无家可归者比例是新西兰。 尽管美国对穷人和无家可归者的处境更为苛刻,尽管如此,但在澳大利亚和新西兰,无家可归的人却更多。

Since the mid-1980s, Finland has tackled homelessness steadfast continuously. As a result, in recent years, Finland is the only country in Europe where homelessness has decreased. It does not take long if there is a will. 自1980年代中期以来,芬兰一直坚定地解决无家可归问题。 结果,近年来,芬兰是欧洲唯一减少无家可归者的国家。 只要有意愿,就不会花很长时间。

别的地方不知道,以澳洲的福利,无家可归基本是自己作死到一定程度了,怪不得政府。

我多年前的一个邻居是搞社区工作的,据她说很多homeless都是因为身上有毒品,而去shelter是要没收毒品的

我以前住在一个大学城,遇到过一个 homeless 的奇人。几乎每天早晨,他都早早地在市图书馆门口等着开门,9点开门后,他在图书馆里面看书,一坐就是一天; 晚上,去政府提供的住处临时待一晚。我基本每天早晨会路过图书馆,下午经常带孩子去那里还书或借书,十有八九会看到他。当时很好奇,那么好学,怎么会选择这样的生活。

Homeless 有些是吸毒,有些是精神病
