I don't think you should get hung up on the "move back in with your parents" part.

The point of the post is not to suggest that some homeless people are better than others because the reason they are homeless is somehow more forgivable.

I think they were using that statistic to make the point that society should stop seeing homelessness as something someone does or experiences, but rather something we allow to happen, and it is never deserved.

I have never been homeless in a large part because my parents wouldn't allow that to happen. My children have never been homeless because I wouldn't allow that to happen.

It's not a tremendous leap to go from that to suggesting that no one should be homeless because we, as a society, shouldn't allow that to happen.

I don’t think you should get hung up on the “move back in with your parents” part.

I'm pretty sure that "you have no business" is a phrase meaning "you should not" or "do not" or something similar. Sounds pretty absolute and definitive to me. You are reading nuance into a post that doesn't have it.

The reply does have it and aligns with your interpretation. And this...

... is the point of the reply. Obviously yes, absolutely, 100% agree.
