Homelessness the lie

The increasing number of street people in Hemet tells me there are plenty of resources being made available.  The city of Hemet utilizes federal grants.  (follow the money)
The carrot on a stick method:
 http://www.hhs.gov/programs/social-services/homelessness/grants/index.html

Local citizens who feel compassionate happen to be part of the problem.  When will the city write an ordinance stopping the follow of cash.  People who give money to panhandlers should be cited and fined heavily.  The money collected in fines should go toward hiring and paying the salary for more law enforcement.

Most of the supposed homeless persons in Hemet have actual houses they can go to.  Some guys have gotten women pregnant.  They aren't married so the single mother can get welfare benefits. This prevents the guy from being willing to work at a job because his wages will be garnished.  Also prevents him from getting a bank account.  Others have families (parents, siblings, etc).
Media talks about he issue of veterans being homeless.
The issue of mental illness, or drug addiction contributing to homelessness.
The truth however is the majority of people who are claiming homelessness ARE NOT in fact homeless.  Living and working in area over a length of time you see familiar faces.  I've interacted with various people in different places and seeing how they utilize a variety of manipulative tactics. Is honesty an old fashioned concept?

Others don't want to follow rules of the housing available to them.  Some want to mingle and hang out and go home to gated communities.  Others have jobs and vehicles, they feel like king or queen amidst the artsy vibe of the street culture.  Not sure where to insert the topic of the caregiver scam, That is a major problem as well, in the leaky boat of government boondoggles.

It's not too surprising journalists are unable to see this.
It doesn't fit into the current social engineering point of view.
In other words it would never get past the editor.

Is a point of view I can relate to, too much to ask?

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
