Paris, the city of beauty, of love, of...as much homelessness as any other big city. Johnnyparsons: riding in a shuttle from hotel to airport in Chicago, I was chatting up two lovely women...who remarked on all the homeless in Chicago. One of the belle dames insisted that the homeless wanted to live that way, and her boyfriend's brother proves it. Of course, it turns out the guy is mentally disabled, can't remember to take his meds, nobody knows what he's talking about...but he says he wants to be homeless.
