What 'homeless' looks like changes across the planet. I worked in Tokyo for awhile and often had co-workers crash at my place instead of sleeping on the street. Not because they were homeless, but because a meeting ran late and there was no way for them to get TO their home after the trains all shut down.


 
Slept on the street myself a couple times. Tokyo is a huge fucking city, and getting a taxi after midnight can cost you $500 just to get them to stop and consider giving you a ride. Like: literally, hold out a ¥5,0000 bill and they roll the window down just enough to grab it, then you get to find out if they'll take you home or not.


 
[protip: if you include your business card and you work for a god-tier keiretsu you will get a ride, but it will cost you the equivalent of half a month's salary in the US]


 
At just ¥1,0000 a night, those cube hotels are fucking awesome. Some even have showers for rent.
 
Those outdoor cubes look like upgraded trashcans though. I mean, yay for more housing for the homeless, but maybe just have a cube hotel thing where someone's responsible for cleaning them once a day or something and there's showers and maybe even a locker for your shit. Like a truckstop at least, maybe. More dumpsters doesn't seem like anything more than a feel-good temporary solution to the problem that will only make things more shitty over time.
No reason given
