Homelessness for a brief stint of your life is involuntary. **** happens, ya know?

But any extended period of homelessness is purely by choice. At least in countries like the U.S. and any other well-developed, free country.
I almost completely agree... except that there are several mental illnesses where we do not yet have sufficient capacity yet to help these people. Those I would call involuntary homeless.
