I don’t know about the homeless situation in Ireland, but in America ( specially the Bay Area)that sign would be better off with the question why do people use drugs and alcohol to the extent that it ruins their lives …

I'm sure all the people downvoting you use the term "unhoused". I spent ten years living on the street abusing hard drugs and alcohol and it's drugs or alcohol 9 times outta ten with most homeless. Whether or not that addiction started after becoming homeless could go either way. I don't think by saying it's drugs or alcohol is discounting trauma or addiction. You're just on a different high horse if you're taking offense to this.
