This conversation explores a deep fear of remaining trapped in homelessness—especially the threat of dying or suffering through winter—and recalls being so cold in their tent that any exposed skin felt like it would freeze. They describe thinking Florida is a safer place for people without housing because large concentrations of unhoused people make it harder to be targeted or moved along.
They criticize current shelter-and-restriction approaches that impose many rules while failing to solve the root problem. The speaker stresses that existing strategies “are not working” and calls for different, systemic solutions; on a personal note they report ongoing medical care and that the baby they’re carrying is healthy so far.
