Expensive cities should do like the Japanese do, and rent out "sleep pods." Some cities even have mini apartments smaller than a bedroom, with a shared bathroom down the hall. At least it keeps you safe and off the street. In the U.S. there are businesses that if you register with them, you can park in driveways, parking lots, and any place that is also registered with them, for a few dollars a night. One of these is called Just Park. There are others. It's a win-win, if zoning permits it. Private home owners can participate too. Much safer.

Josh yeah. i have 205k on my car. I ain't delivering nothing.

[@coryascott]

Josh wear and tear amounts to a negligible amount if you’re using minimal car for the job. Example: I drive Uber and Lyft nights and weekends. Have been for the last three years and I plan to do it for the next 4 or 5 years too. I drive around 30 hours a week on top of my 50 hour weekday job. I drive about 30,000 miles a years. So keeping it well maintained, I’ll be able to get 200,000 miles in 6-7 years. I paid $16k for the car brand new. By the time I get rid of it at 200,000 miles, it’ll practically be worthless. But I make about $35,000 extra per year doing this. Gas comes out to only about 15% of that and maintenance is only a few hundred dollars a year usually. Taxes are less than $1,000 for the whole years since almost all of that money is written off as a mileage deduction. So that’s still over $30,000 after expenses. So after 7 years I’ll have spent $16k on a car, drove it into the ground, and made over $200,000 with it. So now you see the wear and tear argument is kinda silly. Even if you were driving an expensive car it would still be worth it.

The last thing this guy needs is to be room mates with junkies and mentally ill people which is what he will get.

He needs money now and to provide some sort of service(s) to get out of his situation. Dave's advice of "Rich people are afraid of leaves" is a good starting point. Since he has restaurant experience and a car delivering pizzas can be done at night. When he has enough money he should get a roommate or two or rent a room from someone and learn in demand skills either by taking classes at a community college when he's not working, providing services so roll that experience into a stable employment/ livable salary and hopefully never be in this situation again.

The worst are the doctors, who condescendingly talk down to you and lecture you about what you already try to do and know you need to do and can’t often do. Those Rec centers cost money to enter - $50 dollars and they are on a limited schedule. If my husband has to clean up to go to his second or third job, and the Rec center closes? Guess what? We’ve been reduced to bathing outdoors naked sometimes in the cold. We also have been reduced to peeing and shutting in a bucket because you can’t get in the Rec center after hours. I never ever thought I would be reduced to this. I try to keep clean. I try to dress like I’m not homeless. I’ve even had people tell me how come I don’t look homeless. Yet these self righteous rich people look down on us as if we are dirt. I forgive them, and I warn them to beware unless God puts them in the same circumstances.
