I didn't say that because he was experiencing homelessness. I said that because he chose to commandeer an excavator and lift a car with it. I honestly didn't even think about his housing situation.
You shouldn't assume he has a mental illness. Not everyone experiencing homelessness has a mental illness.
Also, you should refer to the situation as "experiencing homelessness" rather than refer to the person as homeless. They're in a bad situation, it's not a part of their identity.

I agree, with the small caveat that in current year +6 the most PC term would be "experiencing unhousedness" if we're going to split hairs
This guy is living the home is where you make it life, which sometimes is in the cab of an excavator that is experiencing unpermitted borrowedness
