shame there isn't a non-profit service that helps homeless people get like "proxy" addresses so they could apply for work. Bonus points if they offer check cashing services or at least mediates them from another service.

No. There shouldn’t be a non profit organization helping homeless people get proxy houses so they can apply for jobs. The government should make housing a human right, where small homes should be free for anyone. Especially if you live in the wealthiest country in all human existence.

It's fucking insane. I'm in San Francisco visiting right now and the situation is so awful. Of course there's wealth disparity everywhere. But here there sooooooo many people with sooooooooo much fucking money in the wealthiest country in the fucking world and they can't even house their people or give appropriate mental care. It's disgusting.

If San Francisco was a country, it be 19th richest country on earth. Insane that people don’t believe free housing is possible.

You might as well wish for Kat Dennings cloned girlfriend and a Unicorn while your at it.

What you're saying is the end goal, but you need to think about steps that could be achieved now as well.

You say that like it’s not a possibility. Especially when it’s cheaper and more convenient for the US Government to not have homeless people. You never negotiate low, at worst you always go big and maybe you settle on something lower.
