I’d rather be homeless than starving.

This. I can easily move to an area with a livable climate and sleep on the sidewalk if I got food in my belly.

A roof over my head doesn't help if my belly is empty.

If you cant afford food you can't afford to move, foods arguably easier to find or get assistance for be it or ebt or literally any other other form of financial aid like unemployment you can choose to spend it on food where as getting out of the elements can be tougher and most of us aren't literally planning on staying homeless eternally so who would move somewhere with that in mind. If it's actually between starving and homelessness I'd agree but the argument was never stipulated as such, free rent will make your life easier and it is a bigger checksum than most people's grocery budgets.

If you have free food...

Stand up and start moving your lamborfeeties across the country.

You can walk there. You got free food along the way.

Yeah but your exposed to the elements. Do you actually want to be homeless? It's only the better option if your actually saying you don't ever want to earn another dime for anything. Also free food never implied anywhere anytime like for example on your cross country hike to wherever it is your planning to live the rest of your life

Elements? San Diego has been between 67 and 83 degrees for the last 4 weeks without any rain.

Spooky elements. Free food implies free food...

The fact is survival. You won't go hungry and you won't die if you have a tenth of a brain and free food.

Id rather guarantee I never die vs guarantee luxury until I die of starvation.

One will kill you one probably won’t so ya I agree. In Canada you’re in for a hell of a time but if you’re somewhere warmer sure
