This one is just horrifying but the reality

A telemarketer, Sepa hits the phones at 7 a.m., working out of Zephyr Cafe in the Richmond District. He uses his laptop and a cell phone headset to make over 100 cold calls each morning. Currently, he's trying to get companies to take a meeting with a software firm he's representing.
He gets paid via his PayPal account, and owns an iPod and a guitar. When he says he is going to take you out to see "my version of a shopping cart," he means a late model Chevy.
What he doesn't have is four walls and a roof. Instead, he's been living in a tent deep on the back trails of Golden Gate Park for three months.


....

"Absolutely, there are cases where people are working and simply are not earning enough to live in a high-cost area like San Francisco," he said. "If you are not on a subsidy, it is very, very difficult to get housing on your own."

...

"Look, I make between $2,000 and $3,000 a month. It costs between $1,600 and $1,800 for a motel (at $50-$60 a night for a cheap one in a suburb like Fremont). You can do that, but you're not saving anything to get out of this."
