I believe there is some deeper truth in this comment.
I have witnessed it when suburban dwellers pass an unhoused person or panhandler in the city. It could be that the visual of how some people are forced to live shatters their self-created bubble. Maybe there is some level of internal guilt they feel and want to avoid it?
