3. If they are so concerned, why not give them a place to live?

All of those people sticking their nose in are not actually doing ANYTHING to help. Why not give her a room in their house? But NOOOO, none of these people would ever consider that the simplest solution to homelessness is GIVING THEM SOMEPLACE TO LIVE. There are plenty of people with extra rooms out there but every last one of them will say no to that, while at the same time criticizing this woman for being homeless. I would bet they all call themselves "Christian" as well.
