If I was an actor with a role in something like Waiting For Godot? Yes, but many homeless people rather than one. Go directly to the source of something to understand it. Cut out the news, the statistics, etc.
It's a good read. IIRC Anthony Bourdain recommended it years ago because there's cooking in it, well, using the term loosely. Cooking with quotation marks.
Your words, not mine. There are exceptions as always, so believing any one person based solely on their background is not advisable. People have motives, biases, etc. Roll for perception.
A homeless person would know what all resources were available in their area, from professionals and others without homes, but they wouldn't necessarily have the know-how in order to feed others on a large scale.
Picking and choosing things the average person wouldn't know, homeless or otherwise, while overlooking what information one would need to have when on the street.
The human body is still very much beyond our complete understanding, particularly the brain. Bodies aren't experiences but an evolved means through which we experience such external things as homelessness, which are evident. Doctors still take into account feedback from their patients and patients can seek out a second opinion, because not all doctors are good at what they do and each body/brain varies with a complex personal and familial history. But the scientific community is a reliable enough source of information because they devote their time to that. There aren't people who are scienceless, not even those who are science-deniers. Similarly, it would be absurd to call homeless people home-deniers.
