This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How do they check if you're homeless? Couldn't you just rent a property and tell nobody?

In Germany you are required to register your address with the authorities and your landlord has to register you as well. But as far as I know there is no such central registration of all citizens in the US. Isn't that one of the reasons why there's always such a big hassle to get enrolled as a voter?

Yeah that could work as long as you never change your mailing address to where you are staying but there's nowhere you can rent for $700 in SF.
