I am possibly moving for a new job and I won't have a place to live. I am thinking about just moving into a homeless shelter. I called one and all they did was take my name and number down. It was crazy because they thought it was a prank call, not sure why.

But I want to move, this is a good job. I just have very bad credit and no apartment will rent to me. So I am going to live at a shelter for a while.

What should I expect? Is it comfortable? Are there shelters that provide apartment style living or are all of them like a camp in prison such as what you see on Orange is the New Black? The shelter I called looks like a camp. Is there a curfew on when you have to be back? Do they serve free food? Is there a specific time you have to wake up at? What happens if you are working late and can't be back until 3 hours after curfew?

Also, this same agency provides rehousing. Not sure if I would qualify. Is rehousing also a homeless shelter too?

Where I live now is not really providing me any good opportunities except a McDonalds or Subway job. I don't really want to be a sandwich artist.

See, I want to move to California, but I have to be homeless as the first stage since all I would have is a job and nowhwere to stay with $1000 in my pocket.

Anyone done this and now you are living the dream? Beautiful wife and kids in the Bay Area or LA?

Look, I just want to live in California and I am tired of it being a dream. Ideally I want the Bay Area. I am attached to San Francisco.

I am tempted to want to move to California with no plan except a warehouse job at Amazon. Anyone done this or something similar? I ask because I talked with a social worker on here who said that they have seen people like me who have a California dream only to end up homeless and lose their cars because they were in a jurisdiction with high enforcement on people sleeping in their cars. And these people now live in a homeless shelter and have no way out.

Has this happenes to anyone or is it a myth? I also don't want my car to be impounded.

I can't afford it. I make the bare minimum wage and I don't have a savings or any credit cards. I have terrible credit and I can only qualify for a loan through a scammer.

The engine maintenance alert came on today and I looked it up and many people say that I have to replace that part and that it can be up to $2300.

How long do you think my car will last until it breaks down? I need to prepare in case I have to be homeless. I live in a city with no transit and I am not moving back to El Paso to live with my dad and to attend UTEP.

Just wondering if my package is still arriving even though it doesn't say its out for delivery. It shows its coming today on a specific time window.

It absolutely does. Even Miami, NYC, Paris, London, LA, PHX, LAS, etc all have nicer passengers. And i think its the locals. The connecting passengers are the nicest. This is the only airport where people yell and abusively shout at you. I've almost cried several times.

Almost every passenger I encountered have been mostly so rude and nasry at this airport. Its so different from Phoenix Sky Harbor and Las Vegas Harry Reid Airports. Even Miami Airport had much nicer travelers. Same with JFK Airport too. Even Paris CDG and London Heathrow had way more pleasant travelers.

What is wrong with this airport? Someone just told me to watch where I was walking when I had no intentions of stepping on their things.

Is California more strict or laid back on towing?

Suppose next month i officially decide to quit my job and move to California with $2000 in my name and a job at Amazon. Let's say I decided on the Bay Area for example. I drive my car and park across a Planet Fitness or any 24 hour business. I juat put curtains on the windows and cover my windows all together.

What are the chances I could be towed? Or harassed by the police? One of my concerns is that i wont ever get any sleep. I would be sleeping and at like 2 AM or some very odd hour I will wake up to banging on my window, half asleep like I am drunk with 2-5 officers and they will ask of my ID and say the business wanted me trespassed and I had to move to another parking lot at this odd hour half asleep and can't think because my brain is still sleeping.

What about being towed? Are the chances really high in the Bay Area? Especially in the safer parts such as Walnut Creek or Dublin?

What about Orange County? I do know that Disneyland is off limits because you need a permit. A while back someone DM'd me on reddit and said that people like me came to Orange County with my plan and ended up losing their cars that got auctioned off because they never were able to get them back and ended up living in a homeless shelter because they ended up penniless and couldn't afford to go back to where they came from.

Where else can I go with little money saved up? I can work at an Amazon warehouse. I also thought about Atlanta. Washington DC is another option too as well as Chicago. But i really love California so much. I wish i still had my friend in Woodland Hills because I know for sure he would have let me stay as long as i needed, but he is forever gone. I don't know anyone else in California sadly.

Found a federal job there that gives people a 2nd chance. I have to wait a year to interview, but it looks like a good city for me.

If I wanted to be homeless in Palm Springs, I probably would have a much better time than in the Bay Area or in LA. I can just live out of my car in the desert. Would only be temporary.

I genuinely want to live in Palm Springs. The reason I am choosing this city is because I will have a federal government job there. Its pretty affordable too to rent a room.

I love Palm Springs! Everyone is so gentle and polite, reminds me of Tucson without all the homeless, rude people, and hostile drivers, and the air is so clean and crisp.

I would have chosen Ontario had it not been a 70 mile commute to work. But I can go either way.

Palm Springs is love, light, and positivity.

Anyone else think the same?

Has this happened before?

Is this promotion legit? I am currently with Spectrum and have less than $800 to pay off my phone. Is this promotion legit? Also, why is it asking for my ID verification? It placed a hold on shipping after paying the sales tax on the phone.

I want to apply for a new job. I work with a horrible company right now that has a very bad reputation. I can see why after some time working with them since April 2026. My work history is so horrible. I really need help deciding what to keep and what not to keep on my resume. Here is all of my work history. I also only have a bachelor's and a masters degree and no other qualifications.

Any advice on how to explain my work history?

I can't imagine another full year here. I plan to leave and be homeless in a different state.

Next month I plan on driving west to be homeless and start my life over again.

I dont understand it. I go to a restaurant that is so empty and some old creepy dude sits at the table right next to me in the closest chair too next to me as well. Its so whack. Same when going to the movies, in the waiting room, at the airport, on the train, etc.

When i travel to Phoenix and to other cities, its not like this. This is very specific to the DFW Area only.

And then people in line stand so close, like I can feel them breathing down my neck.

I really want to do this so bad. I hate where I live so much. I talked to an AI Bot and it says its a good idea. I think im gonna do it with a job lined up. Even AI hates the city i live in too and shared the same experiences.

I also never want to live in a city with rude and mean people ever again.

So my sibling was arrested on a felony back in April. He was indicted in June. He was supposed to have a hearing in July, but that got moved to this month. I found the case online and it says "plea bargaining data" for the date of this month.

Does this mean he accepted a plea deal? He thinks he will be released. He also has a mental illness too.

This is the 2nd time that I've had immediate diaherria after eating Burger King. And I went to a different location too.
