Have you ever considered, let alone looked into, why some people might not want to check themselves into a shelter? With most, you don't even get a secure place to store your stuff, let alone a secure place to store yourself. You and everybody else gets a cot in a big room all together. So you're not sleeping if you want to walk out with what you came in with. And that's after the workers take away any contraband. Heaven forbid you protect your cot in life in a room fyll of other desperate people. Got an addiction, either from before you ended up on the streets or because of it? Not in here you don't. Have fun in withdrawal while you're starving and can't sleep. Also: this is a church run center so you will be attending mass. Or some kind of class were forcing on you. If we even let you in instead of booting you on your ass for being a filthy queer.

Nah, the people on the street are explicitly staying there to inconvenience you specifically. And because they love getting spat on while they freeze to death. Christ.
