This year, we've seen homeless bloggers, homelessvertising and now, homeless people living in golf carts. This homeless man set-up his portable home in none other than Palm Springs, where the cost of housing soars through the roof. No doubt, this man is creating all sorts of opinions, but one has to respect the ingenuity he's used to make himself a home on wheels. Plus, given that Palm Springs is a golfer's haven, it seems fitting that their homeless people would be cruising in golf cars.
