          "text": "I don’t think homelessness will ever be eliminated. Approximately 70 percent of homeless people suffer from some kind of mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction. Many do not want to live in shelters or participate in job programs because they cannot live within the rules and regulations that must be adhered to if they are to participate in the programs. That being said, I feel the programs started in Albuquerque and other cities are great for those individuals who really want to be helped.",

It seems to be common around the US. There certainly is a significant population where I live. You can drive by areas and see camps of homeless folks, people asking for money on many corners.
