Dude, I’d join them. The actual owner of this place would be displeased to say the least.
If it was someone that came with advance warning and a good backstory, I could maybe arrange it. I’ve done it before.
But enough about me, I’m weird. Most people are reluctant to do anything like that, and if you had picked on someone else this would be a gotcha. The thing is, it doesn’t all have to fall on one person. We could just pay a bit more in taxes and expand out shelters until there’s no reason not to use them. Nobody would have to live with a stranger. We’d need more mental health services as well, and in some cases more inpatient beds, because some of the people on the streets have serious issues.
I’m curious what you would have said in response if I just went “I don’t want to”. Obviously you’re not suggesting sharing with the less fortunate is bad, and while you might successfully argue that I’m bad, I’m not sure how painting an internet stranger such a way would help anything.
Who says I own a house?
If I did, I would indeed feel obligated to help people out if I can. Heck, even allowing tents in my yard would probably help.
You don’t need to own your home to split it with a homeless. Don’t be so careless, share your living space

Go you. Be the change you want to see in the world.
