I only went to homeless services when I was truly destitute for basically the first six months. If I can find another solution, I do. Most homeless services are incredibly crappy and often counterproductive.

I'm with you. I've been homeless before. I would never use a shelter. But if there had been free showers I would have used them lol. I had to use the shower bus riding around SF. Also, if there had been free toothpaste and soap that would have been nice.

Sorry, I mistook your original query. It was amongst a bunch of such comments and some seemed to not be getting made in good faith.
The super short version is that I don't want to live in a van because I no longer drive due to my medical condition. There are other factors, but that's a big one.
