Does anyone ever hear this one? It doesn't make sense to me. Why do we need the option to be homeless? Do you want to be Diogenes or what?

    When I was a kid we moved around a lot because my mom quit her job constantly. I was in my late twenties before I put together that extended stays with extended family in between apartments were homelessness.

      I’ve had people tell me I wasn’t homeless (or at least “not REAL homeless”) when I was couch surfing, because for the vast majority of the time there was a roof over my head. Wasn’t my roof. Couldn’t afford a roof of my own. Not sure what that would be if not homeless.
