Living Outdoors vs. Living in an apartment

            Someone settled outside in an alley or under a freeway has a haul to deal with compared to someone living in cozy apartment where all their resources are at hand and easy to obtain. I'm not necessarily implying that people who live in apartments have it easy, they too have issues to face, it's just living outside is really like living in a jungle.
             Living outside is considered being homeless. Vagabonds are thought of as grungy, unfortunate, heartbreaking and annoying beggars. That is due to the lack of resources they have, the little to no housing they have, finding food is a task ( they either hunt or starve to death), and their surroundings are dangerous and risky, meaning anything can happen to them. There are not many stories reported on homeless people, but there are ones that talks about beating homeless people with a bat or being mistreated by ordinary citizens. ( They have no respect for the poor?)
            Apartment dwellers aren't what I consider lucky. Yes, they have money and a job to support themselves, but when the bills, needs and wants start kicking in they would begin to consider how much they really have. I must say, apartment dwellers are a lot fortunate than vagabonds. Plus, apartment dwellers have the luxury to clean themselves up every now and then and look presentable. Not to mention the luxury of vacationing in a far away island. ( The last two sentences were in no way meant to insult homeless people.)
