Belize City homeless

This person is rare among the street people I saw: he has all his arms and legs and doesn´t look like he´s on the brink of starvation or totally incoherant.

Belize City is frightening and depressing, a slum full of neglected people. People eating rotting garbage, pissing in the street, competing with animals for food. A cab driver told us there were plenty of jobs and that the homeless are all just crackheads. Well, can a crackhead missing arms or legs or starving to death go to work even if he´s not a crackhead?
