I'm an xray in a public trauma hospital.
I see at least half a dozen homeless hit by cars every shift.

They don't set up their tents on the literal street, but they do have to cross it countless times everyday.

Combined with murder machines called stroads. Yah it's a big part of the problem. One of many parts.

    Sounds like confirmation bias and that same old assumption that only poors don't just drive a car everywhere.

    I'm sorry I didn't mention all the people who don't matter to my point.

    But since you're bias is making assumptions about things I didn't mention, I usually see half a dozen a week who aren't obviously living on the street. Once every couple months or so, I even xray a hospital employee who was biking into work when they got hit by a car, or bailed trying to avoid one. But that doesn't mean they couldn't be one of the working homeless.
