Where would you sleep if you were homeless?

I'd honestly break into a unoccupied house

A bed bath and beyond.

@iragexcudder: Hotel conference rooms are actually pretty good also Hotel Bathrooms are a great spot. If you get caught you can just act like a drunken guest. There is actually a legal loophole in some states where you can set up shop in an unoccupied house.

@lukehero: that's absolutely unreal lol I should do this

One of those enclosed ATM booths. Just gotta swipe a debit card.

A 24/7 strip club.

I'd steal a trolley or 2. Do a little crafting and make it into a limo trolley. Line the inside with blankets and pillows.

...

:)

Inside.

@iragexcudder: Gotta check your state lawbooks first, then do it. It's also a way smart people take land from people who don't take care of their families land and pay the taxes on it.

America did it to themselves. Building all of these damn homes and now we can't fill them. Why would anyone who is homeless not pull this trick?

Seriously Squatting is a major problem, but hell...I don't blame those people for doing it.

A bench probably

Abandoned building

The world is cruel.

I was homeless for a few months once, and ideally a beach (with shower facilities) near a park (with a big/dense tree) and shopping centre. I was lucky in that I was homeless in summer months primary, didn't have to worry about constant heavy rain.

I'd go to my parents house and stay there.

Under a rock

Being homeless in my country is hard. I might go to the park and find a nice place to sleep.

Let's see: right now in Palmdale, CA, it's, like 31 degrees, so I'd want to sleep...F-it, I'd try asking to stay at a stranger's place or break into a home no one is living in.

With my parents?

really?

I would die... ''Baby it's forking cold upthere''...

In a tent.

"Under the bridge"

@sc: damn I'm sorry:/ that must've been rough

@laflux: Which bit? Do you mean the homeless part? Yeah I use to go to a boarding school, which I hated at first, but family situation was kind of grim, so boarding school started to actually end up as a blessing. The way it was set up was that you had to stay at school in the week, but weekends were optional, could go home if you wanted or stay. I started staying at school longer. So when it came time to leave school I'd actually preferred being homeless than being around family, so lived at a beach/park for about four months until I had enough money saved up to rent a small place while I studied. I was lucky though, I had enough money with me to buy basic food, and weather was good to me.

I actually think everyone should live homeless for a few weeks, helps with perspective, I still remember random strangers who asked me if I was okay, I still think about the much older homeless people I met, and at the least every night when I put my head on a pillow I smile because its really soft and comfortable. You tend to appreciate a mattress and pillow a lot more when you go without one for a while.

If you actually want to put the effort in, you can try to talk your way into a hotel room. Just mention room 108 or something, and claimed that you forgot your key somewhere. Most hotel staffers don't even care, they will just give you a new one.

@iragexcudder said:

Not for me no (rough), but I appreciate the thought. Thank you. ^_^.

I was lucky, I had other options, I could have stayed at friends, or I could have got government assistance, but most homeless people don't have choices or options. So yeah I was pretty lucky and fortunate, plus I had a plan, so a window frame or period where I knew I would be homeless up to a point where I knew I would have enough money to rent. The only roughness I really experienced was mosquitos buzzing around my head at night when trying to sleep.

@sc: I'm glad you're okay and had everything set in stone though, it seems like it was rough in some aspects but it's amazing how right you are that appreciation of what we have and what we don't when the time comes is extraordinary. It's eye opening and life changing really, bravo to you!

There's a abandoned house near me. But If I couldn't do that than in a card board box in an alley way

Limo trolley, b*tch!

Our parks are not even safe tbh...

Home. Duh.

I look homeless so doesnt matter hahaha!

@vinomonster: There we go again. Shut up hhaaha :)

Probably squat in an abandoned or foreclosed home. There's a ton of them in Chicago.

Some abandoned house

@thatguywithheadphones: TRU

In woods

Homeless shelter

Wow. Damn.

That trick only works at low level hotel/motels. Any staffer with a computer in front of them is gonna check the room and see you never checked in and ask for an ID. And even if they don't ask for the ID then they are gonna ask for a last name which still won't match up with the room.

"Hey man. Hey dude. Can I sleep on your couch for the night? Awfully chilly weather."

I would choose a beach too, get my tan on for the babes.

See now you got me wanting to take my $600 I got saved up and just live at the beach... Or go travelling somewhere new and meet new people...

In an abandoned house or shed close to a Walmart, they have bathrooms, water fountains, and a deli that will just hand you whatever food you ask for that you don't even have to pay for until you checkout (Just walk around the aisles, eat the food and then throw away the empty bag in a trashcan or empty aisle) and they also have playable video games set up IIRC.

Car

You guys are aware there are shelters and housing for homeless people to sleep in right?

If I was homeless at the beach I would only accept enough money to get something to eat that day.

This makes me think I'd be much happier homeless, all I really need is water, a book to read, and the sunlight.

Give me the beach. Bathroom facilities and the ocean to take a bath in.

Believe me, you wouldn't be happier...It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had to deal with.
