[quote=Anonymous]I have done so in other countries with low rates of homelessness, widely accessible mental health care service and strong gun control laws.

Here in US, I probably would not choose to live on same street as homeless shelter that kicks residents out at 6am to roam the streets due to high rates or mental health issues and violence in US. As PPs noted, I also would be probably OK with a shelter for women and children as long as it was located in a nice urban area with shops, restaurants and decent schools.

Another factor in decision is whether one has children or not. Safety of children and access to decent schools is usually paramount for parents.

Why are there so few homeless people in Western Europe?
