- spiderice 5y agoYou completely changed what is being talked about. GP said nothing about "unsheltered/sleeping rough". GP said "homeless", so I'm not sure why you're suggesting that your statistics disprove what GP said. A homeless person in a shelter is still homeless. I have no idea if GP's statistics are accurate, but nothing you said proves they aren't.
- rezendi 5y ago? "And then I walk around the streets and see all these homeless" refers, clearly, to the homeless "living on the streets."
