I wouldn't really compare homelessness to being employed at Google and choosing to sleep in the parking lot.

Of course not. Have you been homeless before?

I've been homeless. Long story.

If you've been sleeping in a parking lot and now security has caught on, you're homeless. Are you judging them because they happen to have some money saved up?

Good for you for being able to have more compassion towards these people than I do :)

People save on rent all the time: crashing at friends, moving in with their BF/GF, moving back with their parents, etc... so this is nothing new and I have no problem with the money saving aspect. I just don't equate it with homelessness.
