It's true that life can take many twists and turns, and we never know what is right around the corner. While I have no intention of being snobbish, it still isn't my job to take in anyone who shows up off the street and can't demonstrate an ability to pay. That’s a fair comment, Tristan.

Yes, you should." i think you're forgetting that you can have everything in order one day then have an illness, lose your job and go from a high income to almost no income overnight. Even those who plan well can be beaten down by life. So it seems snobbish to assume that a family of five who is desperate for a place to live is a result of lack of planning. As someone who has worked with low income people and the homeless i find you friends comment to be quite offensive and out of touch. “Shouldn’t you think about where you’re going to live before you go and have 5 kids?” Um, yes.
