I'm not sure you can learn that in two nights. One of the deepest problems is accessing services available to the homed. Showers, hot meals, reliable warmth, danger from others on and off the street. Getting rousted by the police to get out of 'decent' neighborhoods, out of parks and places the general public frequents. Surviving dangerous temperatures, hot and cold. Not knowing whose footsteps you hear behind you and what their intentions are. Limited access to medical care. Being regarded as less than human. Being thought dangerous.

Yes it’s dangerous like you said..but I think I will learn something like patience and being brave and all..@Mamapolo2016
Probably most homeless are not dangerous, but some are. Some will mug you or worse for a peanut butter sandwich. Places where homeless hung out used to be called "hobo jungles, " and there was a reason for that. Be very careful. @Iloveoceans

@Iloveoceans make sure it's next to a library and Starbucks.
@Lostpoet Or just a library with large bathroom stalls

@MarmeeMarch I didn't like the bathroom stalls at the downtown library, the homeless are gross. $1.75 gets you access to a clean bathroom with a sink.
@LostpoetI went to Burlington's Coat Factory once and saw a homeless person inside - then I went there again different day - occupied - then another time - there was shit on the floor in the stall - can you believe it - well thanks to them they now have it locked and you need a code

@MarmeeMarch That is exactly what it's like at the slc library plus most of the homeless are strung out junkies, so they have a person sit there and mark down every time you go to the bathroom and for how long, and if you put your head down they'll kick you out.
