When you homeless in the city the authorities won't let you have fires like you could when you go camping. So there is really no refuge from the cold. There is no food as you soon run out of food. And you can't just go to the bathroom as it is against the law to go to the bathroom in the city. If you are camping you can go to the bathroom no problem. Woods are different.
If you've ever been homeless and experienced all of this then this thread is for you.
Also trying to stay dry so you can stay warm is usually a crime since it is a crime to trespass under business eves after business hours. Even the bus stops that are sheltered are off limits after bus hours.
Homeless people by nature must commit crimes to survive in the sense that I have already stated.
That said there are many people that will offer them food and money when they need. But the authorities often also make it a crime to panhandle for money. Which is usually on an off ramp at the freeway or highway or some intersection where the cars must stop.
Even the churches near my house have no trespassing signs and have called the police on homeless visitors. The businesses usually have a no loitering sign.
Did I cover it all?
