    Yea, I mean you’re not particularly free if you can’t sleep anywhere without either drunk people assaulting you or a land owner kicking you out, or if you need to constantly worry about finding electrical outlets just to keep your phone charged or worry about finding a tap or water fountain to get water. And you’re never able to eat actually pleasant food because you can’t even access a cooker or even a microwave/toaster and you almost certainly can’t afford food that is prepared for you.

    I can only imagine their image of being homeless is having one of those vans that cost like $40k USD to kit out with pretty much everything you would have in a house… in which case yea I guess that would be pretty liberating but you should probably specify that if it’s what you mean.

      Not all homeless people live on the sidewalk of SF, some live in the woods in a tent somewhat content just out of society’s way to try to deal with shit. Source: done that.
