When I lived rural adjacent they would either live in barns or in the bushes by the railroad tracks, they'd make like a fort in the brush and drink in there all day, when I worked in ER one of them came in with the bones sticking out of his toes because he had let his diabetic foot wounds progress so far. In my city some of them live on the land next to the highway on ramp in tents, and they walk quite a ways away to the nearest intersection to panhandle.
TIL foot degradation is a survivable thing. I hope he's alright.
Hope so. The smell was unreal
