Having done a fair amount of homeless outreach in my time, this is the reason why folks who have been on the streets for a while are so vulnerable to paranoia. If you don’t have a place to live in America, you’re under threats of assault like this all the time, from both everyday citizens and the cops. That constant fear and need to always be looking over your shoulder eats people up from the inside out.
I wish folks would realize this when discussing the homeless problem and the associated behavioral issues. Even if you’re not crazy when you hit the streets, a couple of months out there will either make you paranoid or make you dead.
Judging by the posts I see on nextdoor people with homes are ridiculously paranoid too.
I had to delete that app because it made me hate my neighbors.
