You have a twisted sense of what "rather" means. I can't get to fucking Oxnard, I have no car.
I'm spending what little money I have to store what little possessions I have, to get a mailbox, and a gym membership. Because you need an address, and a place to clean up, and a place to change clothes...or just vibe for a little before going back and dealing with the bullshit of homelessness.
How much is it gonna cost to move to Oxnard without established housing? What employer is going to provide me with immediate housing? How far is the housing from the employer? How good is the transit? If bad, is the money from the employer sufficient to get a car in the area? Are the cars reasonably priced?
Also, what's the work? I have multiple injuries that prevent me from doing certain work. I'm older and overweight (largely due to those injuries), so my options are limited. I have mental health issues that need regular maintenance, how's the emperor's healthcare package, or do they pay enough to get my own insurance?
Unless you can guarantee me a residence for free, you might wanna start looking at the nuances of why someone is homeless in the first place.
I'm more than willing to move to a new location, but moving isn't cheap, even with a few boxes of necessities, it can be a massive hassle.
So maybe instead of judging me or anyone else, start providing concrete fucking answers, instead of vague bullshit that strokes your ego.
Yeah, but answers are hard, much easier to be a judgemental prick. (And people like that call people like us lazy...)
