Read a little more closely
About one-third of the county's roughly 70,000 homeless people are classified as chronically homeless -- meaning they have lived on the streets for a year or more and have disabilities such as AIDS or mental illness.
That's "county" as in Los Angeles county, not country.

heck ya, there are homeless people in my area also, some of them are verterans from world war 2 and the vietman,korean war and even the iraq/iran war, and some of them just fell through the cracks of the system of our government.

I think there is a lot more. You cannot discount those living with parents because they have no alternative, those in hostels and so on.
These figures look carefuly manipulated. It seems the American Dream has become the American Nightmare.

More than that!
The tragedy is that there shouldn't be any.
