The bums will be knifing one another over who gets to move in permanently.

Sounds cozy.

I just hope my cot in the FEMA reeducation camp is that comfy.

I wonder if I could upgrade to a hammock under a palm tree. Next to the Tiki Bar.

Yep that came to my mind too. These things will be used for prostitution, drugs, and God knows what else.
