We can all find one "hobo" here or there who seems or even claims to be happy living outdoors, in the street, in the cold, set on fire by drunken hooligans, refused service at Tim Hortons, and dealing with multiple physical and mental ailments---and, he hasn't changed his underpants in three months.

We can find such homeless persons if we look hard enough for them. But, all I have to do is step outside my apartment building and I can find twenty or more homeless persons in the immediate area who aren't happy living the idealized happy hobo life that you seemed to be refering to above.
