I like the polls that this writer has on her website. My favorite was
Reader Poll:
What is the worst part of living in a car?
- 18% Having to live in a car.
- 0% Lack of space.
- 18% Not enough privacy.
- 24% My boss/family/friends finding out I'm homeless.
- 0% Too hot/Too cold.
- 24% Too hard to find a place to spend the night.
- 12% No room to store food/having to buy food one meal at a time.
- 6% Other
If you've been reading this blog, you won't be surprised at my answer. I said finding a place to sleep at night.
