NP and that’s kind of a fantastic idea.  If I live in a field in boundary for Mitch in DC for the month of June I could enroll my kid there.  Anyone can pitch a tent anywhere they want on public land.  [/quote]

Ahhh. You guys have no idea.

Number one, you can’t just “go sign up for services.” You would get various appointments during which it would be very clear to the people assessing your need that you are full of sh*t and don’t need services. You would have to lie about so much that will be transparent.

It’s like you people think that it’s easy to live on the streets and obvious to accept services. It’s not that simple and there are a ton of complicating factors for people experiencing homelessness of all kinds. In any event, please do not waste the time and resources of a system that is already struggling to meet the needs of people with BS claims that you’re homeless so your kids can go to rich kid schools. It’s disgusting and not the funny joke you clearly thought it was. [/quote]

What’s disgusting is the idea that anyone can just claim a patch of public land as their own “home.”[/quote]

Eh? Home is a feeling, not a legal status. Home is where the heart is. Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. Home is something you somehow haven’t to deserve. Etc. etc. etc.[/quote]
