> Right, you bike everywhere and yet you never had bike stolen and don't know anybody who had a bike stolen. In Chicago, no less.
This is correct.
1. You said theft is the main reason people don't bike. Prove it.
2. You said homeless people aren't prosecuted for theft. Prove it.
We refer to "homeless people" as "homeless people," we don't just say "homeless" as if they're something different than a person (and don't be sly, you never said "the homeless," you said "homeless," alone, using the adjective as a noun, which seems intentionally degrading)
