How do the homeless survive in Phoenix? This is a genuine question too I have been there in 120 weather and I cannot fathom why one would choose to live on the streets in phoenix rather than get on a bus to some beach in California and sleep outside there instead.
So weather can affect homeless population?
Interesting 🧐
Another factor besides rising cost of housing, mind officially blown away
Are you sure it’s not your perception of hot weather impairing your judgment?

What are you even saying? I am inquiring about the complexities of surviving outdoors hungover on fentanyl while the outside temperature is over 120 degrees. I did not comment about the economics of housing based on weather and am unsure why you are replying in such a childish manner. We can be better on this platform, no need to act like a teenage girl with your frivolous insults and passive aggressiveness.

Interview a homeless person to inquire about complexity

@BoJack @Bell_curve Honestly I have no idea how they do it because it gets dangerous after 110 degrees. Often they don't even beg at that point, they are likely in the shade at that point. I think this is why we see a lot more homeless people in California or Hawaii.
There is still a huge homeless population here, but the oven like temperatures definitely makes it unsuitable for most homeless. In my opinion it is better to be homeless in Phoenix than Chicago though.
They will go under an underpass in the Shade often times if it gets too hot.
