Many of my characters I create in my novels are homeless people. Not skid row, L.A. brand, but close. I have no special experience in the neighborhood, so I do a lot of speculation. Your reports from the field assist me in my writing. From the list above, I see a culture of individuals. Low profile, low communication, keep it simple, low interaction. It's the community of the solitary.
