You're a sitting duck for people who want to attack you when you're inside one of these.

Has someone said that's a risk or an issue for the people who use them? They probably also are bad in a flood, but is that a real risk? Isn't that true of most shelter?

Yes, I said it in the comment right above yours. In a conventional homeless shelter there are more people around and staff, meaning you're at least not alone with an attacker. Homeless people do get attacked by other homeless and street thugs.

I have a solution for that. No shelter.

I mean, is there evidence that this is a concern - your comment isn't evidence.

I don't know if it really works out that way - plenty of homeless people say the shelters aren't safe - but regardless, it isn't working.

Clearly much better than a tent.
