You'd think everyone would be able to have a place they can sleep that's safe and sanitary to sleep in, but this isn't the case.

I've never slept in a homeless shelter, but I've heard plenty of horror stories about how unsafe and unclean they are. I'd rather sleep on a park bench or a sidewalk, although I'm sure just as equally unsafe. This one homeless guy told me that kicking and pissing on homeless was a common thing taking place. Another one told me he was almost beat to death with a hammer while sleeping in a bush.

Which is why people should be able to sleep in their cars if they have one.

First off, no homeless people are going to be able to pay $130 a night for hotels. They can't pay $1600 a month for an apartment. It's hard for many of them to "get a job" if they lost their IDs on the streets. And they have no free access to showers anywhere.

Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Ezekiel 16:49

How are you going to solve the problem of drugs addiction and severe mental disorders that are plaguing the so called "homeless"? Homelessness is the symptom of the two factors above. Another one is crime.
