Public showers at the beach attract homeless men and they become surfers.
The end.

a lot of hippies are homeless, kinda, and then when they get bored of that, they say "oh yeah, my parents left me a trust fund" then they go to the atm, and take out some dollars.

This reminds me, some years ago, actually, I think it was around 1999, on yahoo clubs, there was a webdesign forum I used. At one point some homeless dude started sending a bunch of posts for a week or two, on and off. every couple of days he would check in. I can't really remember if he was looking for a job, or if he was asking specific questions on web design. All I know is that he said he was using the internet from a public library. But after about 2 weeks he stopped posting... wonder what happened to him...

i have been homeless for a couple of days ...
heres the formula:
driving cross country - car breaks down - low on cash - no family with money to bail you out

i read an article about tribes of nomadic homeless people across america, who communicate through message boards via internet cafes and public libraries.
it's nice to know if i end up failing at life i can still talk to you good people on NT. you wouldn't even smell me.

public baths with cameras??
oh yeh i get it, and sell the videos with a website with live feeds and stuff, they could all have a home by the end of the summer
one problem, hot girls are NEVER homeless, it's a nature thing

i' m confused. a couple of days?
i'm sorry. it's not as if i don't believe you, but you have no friends/family?seriously, i'm just curious how someone could go from place to nothing 'for a couple days' posting to an online design board.

i give the homeless guy that chills on my stoop clothes and food every now and then. i would feel wierd lettin him use my shower though.

Dont you think public bathrooms already have cameras? There would be special social laws that would have to be arranged.
- jdcomba0
but yes i too don't get it. the guy on my stoop is homeless! like he has slept under the park bench for like 5 years. not two days.

you lost me at 'not responding to my post'
- 305artist0
Like I said Level13, sometimes you dont have anyone to depend on and all your money is being held for a camera rental.

these are some decent ideas. i say get back out there and do more field work.
hint .. most homeless people don't have cell phones
