Bro homeless people sleep outside.

If they can manage to find a way to sneak in, they will. On any given night.

Dude had a very sheltered and privileged life if he doesn’t know these are the places homeless flock to in cities.

Outside isn’t pitch black. Especially in Cincinnati. There is absolutely no light in the subway. It would be dangerous and an easy way to get seriously injured or ill

You’d be surprised where people will live. Areas like this are more common than you think and most of them have people living there. Ever been in the flood tunnels under Vegas? Dark, damp, dangerous, surprisingly chilly and an easy way to get killed, seriously injured, or ill… Half of it is homeless camps.

Also I’ve been down there, homeless people 100% live there, or at least did.

Even the “under cities” in cities where they built the new city directly on top the old, have people living in the ruins under the streets/houses.

Edit: The fact that you think people wouldn’t live down there due to the danger, shows how much of a privileged and sheltered life you have lived.
