they give up, ergo its a choice

its a good choice imo. paying rent is a scam. and if ur homeless u can legit just walk to a nice area where theres no crime and sleep in the park or some shit and it will be better than having a house in a dirthole

There are circumstances where a person may temporarily become homeless against their wishes in the first world. If this was true, then it would refute the statement that "being homeless in a first world country is a choice". However, long term homelessness does appear to be a choice.
But then... is a person who has extreme mental health issues or heavy drug addiction able to comprehend that their actions are preventing them from having a roof over their head? Such cases would indicate that first world homelessness may be a matter of severe incompetence, rather than a choice.
As for long term homelessness affecting sane individuals in the first world (the UK, at least), it does indeed seem to be a choice. Of course, you could get into the semantics of what exactly constitutes a "choice"...

Homelessness could be a very legit strat, especially in warmer countries
