My sister has every sort of mental instability you can imagine. She's 17, so my parents have some degree of control over her. But I dread the day, a few years from now, when she decides to up and leave, maybe with some guy. But she would be unable to stay with him, either. There is a very good chance she'll end up on the streets, with absolutely no way to change her situation.
People are different. You have your experiences, Felix, and you've had many more than I, because you have more time. And I respect what you've seen, but you need to be aware that situations exist outside the ones you've described. People don't just end up on the streets. Women in particular are in danger of this... They're raped or molested as girls, and snap some time down the road. People can end up in a bad place because of remarkable circumstances, and maybe they *can't* just "get over it" or "get a job."
And growing fishing, hunting, or growing a garden in Manhattan is probably some sort of zoning violation.
