The topic of homelessness is not explored much or talked about enough. I studied homelessness and incarceration in college with a professor so reading this book reminded me a lot of the past work I did. I think this offers some great insight on how our society treats homelessness and I thought it was interesting to see a view from their eyes rather than just societies view. I am going to recommend this one to my professor as well who I'm sure would be very interested in it. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy!

This was a very readable and informative book about homeless people. This book focuses on the problems of homeless people who are higher functioning. These people can conform to shelter rules , have jobs, and often can pay for items such as cars and storage space. In fact many of these people seemed to be highly organized ito be able to juggle multiple commitments without having a home. Many of these people seemed to be members of the working poor.; people whose low income makes them unable to afford high rents.

However, there does seem to be a subset of homeless people can't follow shelter rules. and have problems living in human society. This book does not deal with this group of homeless.

"The Man in the Dog Park" is a largely just okay look into homelessness. I didn't really enjoy the style of writing but it was an interesting book overall.

Really enjoyed this book. It out a new light on homelessness. Living in San Francisco I witnessed it but never thought deeper about the people living it.
