Of course this is nothing new, as I&#8217;ve been writing about this (go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bathhouseblues.com\/homeless\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Being Homeless At The Gay Baths<\/strong><\/a>). Surprised this is getting mainstream publicity. But then again it just goes to show how the homelessness situation is getting worse all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>And it is not just gay homeless men using the baths, but straight men as well. The gay baths are much safer than a shelter, as those places are much more dangerous due to the drug users and those who are mentally ill being patrons. <\/p>\n<p>However one can only stay for 8 hours, as it is not like a hotel where you can stay a day. These homeless are not good business either. You might think they are purchasing rooms, so how can that be bad for business. It is because the baths rely on a high turnover of the rooms. They have one customer who spends the entire 8 hours using one room. But next door, the other room has been rented out 4 times in an 8 hour period.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the homeless situation go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/patrickstrudwick\/men-are-sleeping-in-gay-saunas-because-the-housing-crisis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Housing Crisis Is So Bad That Men Are Having To Sleep In Gay Saunas<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wweek.com\/culture\/2018\/06\/12\/when-i-had-no-place-else-to-go-i-lived-in-one-of-portlands-last-bathhouses\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>When I Had No Place Else To Go, I Lived in One of Portland\u2019s Last Bathhouses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The housing situation worldwide is getting so bad, that some straight men have been staying at the gay baths for shelter.
