I'm talking about this scenario we are discussing, where someone saves money by not paying rent. Which kind of homeless will they be?


Saves money by not renting? This sounds like an Upper class 20 year old activity. Are they not renting a trailer so they can put $200/month in Tesla?

The level of discipline and focus to be that kind of super saver doesn’t sound like the origin story of a guy with a shopping cart.

Another aspect that gives ms pause is living in ann unmaintained apartment where you don’t have insurance etc is miserable. And that’s the reality of being poor. I’m not sure why we need to pretend we can all become homeless when the actual danger is already real and bleak.
