Off-Topic Why is Phil homeless

Phil seems to have a strong hustler's instinct. He knows how to spot a mark, he has no sense of shame, and he's adept at emotionally manipulating vulnerable people. He doesn't need a home at the moment. World's full of suckers.

If he got a real estate license and a cheap skirt suit he'd be raking it in...
 
He did stay with a lesbian couple for a brief period before he became homeless, but they eventually got sick of him. when Occupy started getting sick of him, he posted a youtube video with their address and announced that his lesbians would protect him.

Fixed that for you. Who knew that lesbians are like other people, in that they don't like having their address and being involuntarily volunteered for gladiatorial combat being broadcast to the entire internet?
 
Here's some snippets from the National Coalition for the Homeless that might help shed some light on this mystery:
"Mental illness was the third largest cause of homelessness for single adults (mentioned by 48% of cities)."

"Mental illnesses may also prevent people from forming and maintaining stable relationships or cause people to misinterpret others’ guidance and react irrationally. This often results in pushing away caregivers,family, and friends who may be the force keeping that person from becoming homeless."

"[The] combination of mental illness,substance abuse, and poor physical health makes it very difficult for people to obtain ... residential stability."

A pretty accurate description of Phil, no?
 
For one, California is not doing him any favors with the high costs of living and housing. Since he is fucking homeless anyway and is on federal SSDI (assumingly direct deposited to a bank account), he can go anywhere right now and keep his autism money. It isn't hard in a lot of areas of the country to find a decent home for 25k and end up with mortgage payments under 150 per month, especially if you watch for foreclosure deals.

I think the biggest problem for him is that he wants to live in the super cosmopolitan areas of California and Oregon where the cost of living is significantly higher.

For example the average rent for an apartment in Downtown Los Angeles is 2,300 a month for a decent sized 1 bed room (this is offset by the tons of high-paying employment opportunities in the Downtown area), while an apartment in the "gay-friendly" areas of West Hollywood and Silver Lake would be 500$ or 800$ more than Downtown (with less employment opportunities since these areas are very residential).

Now if you're smart about it you can find a decent apartment in Koreatown or Long Beach for around 700$-1000$ a month but this would require you to live in areas while not hostile to LGBT people I would imagine would not put up with ADF's bullshit. Simply put the liberal, trans-friendly areas that ADF wishes to live in will be forever out of his reach due to his unemployable nature (his tattoos, his attitude, lack of hygene, and his sketchy work history) and more than likely he'll either stay homeless or live in a really bad neighborhood.

I don't think so. It doesn't get very cold here in Portland, or in sf either. And even when she was sleeping outside in philly and it would get below freezing she would still rather freeze than sleep in a cis dude bro(tm) shelter. Literally, she was admitted to the hospital a couple times with hypothermia. So there's a serious logical disconnect happening there. But we already knew that.
 
A mixture of the ol' 'Tism, playing the victim card way too many times, and poor life choices.
 
They'd be especially limited in Portland, because it would actually be illegal for housing to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. So there's no real room for tranny supremacist housing. He should go somewhere like Texas if he wants to discriminate on that basis.

Not if you own a house, which is what she's looking for. A house owned by a trans woman who charges rent or something like that

Cue world's tiniest violin.

I'm about as sympathetic as I would be for a neo-Nazi who froze to death because he wouldn't share a shelter with a black guy.
