Yup, this. I was homeless for a few years, mostly on the West Coast but I got around. The amount of bullshit a person can get away with correlates roughly with how cold it gets in Winter. In places where Winter kills people you can't be too unreliable or shitty because if the rest of the community shuns you, you die. (I spent a couple of weeks in Boulder one Winter and my knuckles still ache when I think about it.)
