i once got in a big argument with a friend who genuinely thought the homeless people who hung out outside his panera all day nursing a single cup of coffee were just "lazy" and enjoyed it.

I've lived in the slummiest areas in town and have volunteered for various hotel societies and in this city there is adequate housing. The housing is provided for you and your welfare is garnisheed for it. Anyone sleeping on the streets here simply cannot abide by the very lose framework required of them to live in these places. Unfortunately this is usually do to mental illness / hatred for established rules.

As a bonus here is me hanging out with some neighbors in a short film. I am credited as patrick

Edit: to be clear I was never actually homeless, but I paid rent to live in some pretty scummy places which were occupied almost entirely by welfare recipients

Attempted murder, but he's not crazy at all

Trying to kill someone and failing is in no way indicative of being insane, it just means you suck at killing people

It sucks.

Though I haven't gotten that homeless look because dope fiend bums still ask me for change when I'm walking around.

Also I have a job but I can't tell my employers because they will fire me/take advantage of the situation and overwork me to death/or treat me as a pariah

I'd say don't be homeless, but my situation is shared with lots of other people who sleep in their car at your local 24 hour wal-mart, so it's way more common than it should be.

There's nothing wrong with living in a car man. I did it for nine years. The best years of my life.

How is it that you're working but live in a car? Where does the money go?
