Ask HN (Bay Area homeless in practice): Top 8 places to avoid the rain?
If when you are [spawned?] homeless in sf or its bay, area of 9 whole counties, where will you go when it rains and rains (and rains)?
Other than bart 5-12 and airport 12-5.
Top 8 places to avoid the rain?

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 58.0 ms ] threadThe Bay Area doesn’t get a lot of rain. More than LA, a lot less than Portland and Seattle.
- when it rains badly it does rain badly
- bus gets you to all 9 counties uber not needed
"Everywhere" is a non-answer. neither, thus not helpful at all, does it get you any avoid the rain.
Do you intend to help homeless people find shelter? They figured that out from direct experience already: homeless shelters, tents, cars, tunnels and overpasses, under awnings, etc.
Do you intend visiting the area without means to avoid living on the street? Don’t go. You won’t “spawn” there, homelessness isn’t a video game.
Game? nop, tho true for the careless rich. hence for all else a stage(?)
Purpose of Q is to answer the q doh. Heavy rain will come again as it did. I intend to figure out a better answer than just hiding under the bridge just like a matted dog just waiting for heaven.
If you have to pick (cf </newsguidelines.html#Pick>) on a single 'lulz' word, no less within square brackets and with optional-suffix to justify why one has no answer...

Yepp. then don't do it twice for it becomes obvious that way.
Back ontopic, I would say more likely many died or gbhed before they figured anything out not that you would less care/want to want/care to know. wdyt?

As for Wood Street & WGrande.. the place is rather small and pretty much fully taken. Guys were using trash as a moat to keep people out. At Mandela Pkwy &Fwy it looks quite decent, though it might be too high and the twin pillars are all privated excepting one in the middle of the road which has bad vegetation inbetween. At Hannah &Fwy, getting in might be possible since there's a gap where the end of the fences meet, slanting and opening upwards. At Helen &Fwy, there is a bar removed and if my head can go through then all my items can sequentially. At Louise &Fwy, entry might be possible through the bar at the mouth of the gate since it is bent open at the bottom, or via the 'steps' (stuff lying at the gate) to a defanged area with soft landing. At Hollis &Fwy, although there it is crowded, at the center there is a pretty big opening into the fenced area.
Also, as someone who's been in SF for over 12 years, I can assure you it doesn't "rain and rain and rain"
- Actually it rained and rained and rained so much that even mission district was washed clean like they were brand new. I was wet every other day so I know.. but how would you know? Just by keeping the curtains open? It's too easy to miss.
Like which day was the coldest last year? really how would you have the faintest idea I wonder?
Still confused what this post is about. If you've been homeless for 2.5 years, the majority of which spent in the bay area, wouldn't you already have had answers to your questions, many times over, before posting here? Or is it just a spring-board to dunking on non-homeless people in the bay area?
bless you.

See the Q. And no I don't have the top 8 places to avoid the rain. Not even for sf alone, for how would I have that when most of my time is spent on getting food and hygiene, and 9 counties is huge.
