I don't think that's always true. Some people develop a drug addiction and then that leads to homelessness. Spend increasing amounts of time and money on drugs instead of life needs, and then they're broke jobless and out of options.

Someone who's homeless may use drugs and develop an addiction, too. But the order of events isn't fixed. I don't know how common either order is.

Precarious circumstances creates drug addictions.

Wealthy people use drugs at far higher rates than poor people. Drugs are expensive after all. The difference is that when you're poor, drug use makes you homeless.

Also, I sure as hell would want to be high 24/7 if I had to sleep on the sidewalk.
