re: What would you do if you were homeless?

Get a job while I sleep on my parents couch. Then rent an apartment or find a roommate to lessen the bills.

There are so many options really. As long as I wasn't on drugs or drinking, my brother would let me stay with him until I saved up enough to move on.

Friends would help. Hell I gave a buddy a job when he was in between jobs and just needed something to do for a couple of months.

I still think living in the streets and being beggers is a choice unless you are just disabled and have no one that cares for you.
