If you like you can use a handkerchief to tie the handle of the luggage to the seat post of a woman's mountain bike that's multiple sizes too small for you.

You're conflating bums and hobos. Hobos use backpacks nowadays. Bums use those lovely little walker/shopping cart things to bring their cans to reverse recycling machines or whatever the gently caress they're doing.

Those are just regular recycling places


Your city doesn't take your stuff for free because they love the planet it's because they're selling that poo poo for mad profit


Obviously you've never really been to a flop house if you've never had someone explain the finer details of scrap to you.

Reverse vending machines incentivize bums to be little meat roombas roaming around and cleaning up. It's in addition to curbside pickup.

Peterson, W. Jack, and Milton A. Maxwell. “The Skid Road ‘Wino.’” Social Problems 5.4 (1958): 308–316

"Next in importance to obtaining
wine is finding a place to sleep, and
winos will help each other in this. In
summer, any sheltered nook where he
can get out of sight of the police will
serve his needs, but in cold weather,
he has a problem. One form of help
is for a wino who has just come in
from an outside job and is staying in
a Skid Road hotel to offer hospitality
to some of his buddies. If they can
manage to get by the night clerk,
three or four men may sleep on the
floor of his room. Or again, a wino
who has some money (who is
"stakey") will give or loan his buddy
the price of a flop. But if a wino has
found no place to sleep by nightfall,
he must start bumming for a "flop"
in earnest

The price of a flop may range from
25 to 75 cents. The flop house is
usually a room as full of beds or cots
as the health inspector will allow. The
beds will be much the worse for we

In some cities, a wino can sit up all
night in a movie house. But if all else
fails and the wino cannot find a warm
place to sleep or stay, he may be
forced "to carry the banner," that is,
walk the streets all night, hoping to
catch some sleep the next day in a
bus or railroad station or any place
where he can keep warm and not be
picked up by the police."

Back in college I had to read a book about a sociologist who decided to study heroin addicts that shot up under an overpass. Any post in this thread could fit in that book and I wouldn't be able to point it out. Point is sociology is a joke.
