Not to mention, if you were homeless and had the means and overall executive function to facilitate accumulating the money for a bus ticket and planning an interstate move you might decide to un-homeless yourself instead.hector wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:25 pmThat was a good article.Culican wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 8:42 am [tent slum]
Phoenix's Largest Homeless Encampment Has Sparked a Lawsuit. What Now?
If I were homeless in Phoenix I'd make it a goal to get together enough money for the 5 hour bus ride to be homeless by the beach in Southern CA instead.
Batter weather. Has to be better public benefits.
And I might have a drug habit that prevented me from ever having more than $100 at a time.
And, I might just want to be homeless.
A guy named Shellenberger in CA wrote about this. Some homeless people had apartments paid for by the state. They didn't use them much. They preferred living in the tent cities.
