A friend since college is an engineer who worked for a large corporation his whole career. His grandfather had been a policemen in NYC back in the day, my friend had an interest in police work and so he became a reserve police officer and stuck by it for over 35 years. I guess he did not need much sleep! He wrote a book on policing and the criminal justice system in his community. Anyway, I asked him about the homeless he had encountered. He told me they had chosen the lifestyle, told him they enjoyed sleeping under the stars and did not want to be reformed or change their ways.
