| 57. How can the homeless legally operate automobiles without a valid address? |

Where is car insurance and motor vehicle registration sent?
Housing and cars are both money pits, but you are telling me that choosing to live in a car is the best course of action over a given time period?
Gas is going to go up quicker than housing in any event, so it is a losing proposition.
