Those are trials of camping. The cops coming and tossing your tent and everything else you own in a dumpster, that's a trial of homelessness.

This was specifically addressed in the blogpost. This is illegal in Hong Kong too.
And it didn't happen and if it had then he'd have crashed on a friend's sofa. And his laptop and two suits would have been safe in a locker at university.

An actual homeless person would have a quite different experience of a bust.

"I decide who is homeless and who isn't in retrospect by analyzing whether something happened to their tent in the woods or whether they were not discovered".

Sure. That's easier for you than talking about how differently things go with the cops for a rich university student caught tent camping on a lark, than for someone who is actually homeless.
