Or I would find a place with a active night life so I can go into club and maybe sleep in a bathroom or ask to be hired to clean there. Sleep in the club,then in the day walk around til night falls again. If I was homeless I would drink a lot. Sad .

Berkeley, California is the best city to be homeless in. Where else do the homeless people actually have a choice of which soup kitchen they would like to choose each day? As far as I know, there is plenty of food, there is at least one shelter, and they provide bins of free clothing at one of the parks in town. Not to mention, the crime rate is low and there is little violence that occurs toward the homeless in Berkeley. It would be hard enough being homeless, and especially difficult constantly having to watch over one's shoulder. The last thing they need to worry about is being jumped at night. San Francisco is close, and the BART provides partial shelter as long as one can scrounge up enough change to get on it.

If I had to be homeless anywhere it would be Honolulu.

The crime rate in B-Town isn't very low at all...

You were being sarcastic, right? Seattle is one of the northernmost, rainiest big cities in the country. It would be a miserable place to be homeless.

As for the question in the OP...

San Francisco or San Diego.

It's sad, but after the first year, you don't even reconize them as human beings, and San Francisco is FREEZING! That fog really lowers the temperature a good 10-20 degrees than the actual temperature.

I'm with you on that one.... it's foggy, damp, and COLD there in the summer because of the marine influence.

^ depends what part of the city you're in, and what time of day (mornings and evenings only get fog usually, and it's much more common in western neighborhoods). As far as "damp" SF doesn't have very high humidity or precipitation, unless you compare it to a desert...and most of the humidity is just due to the fog anyways...so if you're not in the fog, it won't be very humid at all. I guess you could say we usually get dry heat, and often get humid cold (due to the fog).
