First off, sure, there are circumstances that make it difficult to seek alternative shelters, but the root poster in this thread said "the alternatives are not for everyone." If you have have kids, you're not gonna be couch surfing. The idea, however, is that for some people, alternative housing is definitely an option, and that point seems perfectly valid.

Secondly, there's no need to be negative in your reply. Some people might have different goals than you and it's not very kind to disparage them for that. There are people that don't continue their genetic lineage and have fulfilling lives. Perhaps you're just exaggerating to make a point, or the humor didn't quite convey over text and I'm just taking it too literally, but I don't see what you're trying to achieve with that harshness.
