Deezus, I tried to rep you. Was going to post exactly that about homelessness and cheap organic strawberries. LOL

at least move to LA or Hawaii or something if you're going to be homeless...might as well stay warm and at least it rarely rains in LA (been getting down to the 40s and even high 30s at night though)...hey you could move to skid row!!

...in all seriousness, making yourself homeless on purpose is stupid. Of course you want to be self sufficient and everything but there is no harm in living with your aunt in VA for a few years in order to work towards that goal. Get a job in VA and pay her rent if it'll make you feel better. Heck people nowadays live with their family all through their 20s and some even into their 30s...people move back in all the time. 22 isn't really that old.

If I do go to Portland I need to have enough money to live off for at least 6th months.
This is the response from resident14 that prompted me to believe he was not a troll. Yet regardless of this post, people continued to citicize him.

Really, I don't see where he is any different from the people who post they want to move here without a thought about finding work. At least he has the sense to ask about the ramifications of being homeless.
