37. Yes, you did so suggest that people want to be homeless
Here is what YOU said:

"In the US, when you are born into poverty, you can still get jobs to pay the rent and barely survive in a quasi-dignified way (fully dignified compared to some places I have visited) - for the most part. There may be some exceptions to what I have stated, but by and large, my observations have been that many homeless people have themselves to blame"

If any poor person who is not mentally ill can find a job to pay the rent, then why is any healthy person homeless, unless they WANT to be homeless?

YOU said the poor can find work to pay the bills, and that many are homeless because of BAD CHOICES. So if they have CHOSEN to not work (because it cant possibly be that they CAN'T find a job that supports them and their family), and they DON'T want to be homeless, then YOU tell me, why are they homeless?
