      Bunch of Samaritans! Probably thinking of something like:
      *_Whatever you do for these, the least of my brethren, you do it for me_* .
      But the guy who said that is dead for over 2,000 years now and nobody should pay attention to that anymore, should they?

    100° Id. take that.. sounds like beautiful weather… here it’s 115 on a daily basis pretty much still beautiful just don’t underestimate your hydration. Level. Minimum a gallon a day whether you feel like drinking or not… the low yesterday here 89.. with no breeze that’s the worst.. I’m also homeless but I still got my car to sleep in so it could be worse. I’m not very much a hot weather person, but I definitely gotten used to it. I’d rather be warm and hot than freeze to death.. only 9 more weeks of this and then the rest of the year is beautiful. I’ll take that… right now I’m sitting in the park, plugged into the outlet, charging my devices and using public Wi-Fi. What more can youwith a beautiful pond near by

    Crazy skyrocketing housing and rent prices, evictions, layoffs - nobody have a warranty. And this is just a visible homelessness, but how many sleep in cars... and they became like that not in a one day, so mental issues etc might be not a root cause, but in opposite, like a chicken and an egg.

      and you could become homeless at any time like these people do. you are a 'productive person in society' because you are lucky. what if you were diagnosed with an expensive illness that got you out of work and you became broke b/c of medical bills and ended up homeless? would you want people to talk down on you AKA what you are doing right now? or would you want some sympathy and to be cared for?
