    It definitely represents reality in a lot of cases.

    I’ve been homeless before and never had a trash cloud. Those with trash clouds are still homeless. It’s not a random occurrence.

      If half of the homeless/campers are trashy, the media will only show 5 seconds of footage of trash before going back the a bunch of news anchors repeating empty wisdom. They wont show the clean ones and they wont talk about what depression does. The coverage just exists to reassure their viewers have it good.
