Rex and Steve still see one another almost every day. Steve is happy to finally have a room, but sometimes, waking up there, he misses things about his time as a homeless person. "I don't hear the wind and the birds," he says.

With his new place and student aid, Steve could be looking at a fresh start if he continues to fight his addiction. But if things fall through, he has a place to sleep, next to Rex, at his old address beneath the fog.

Not all homeless SFSU students are drug addicts, you know. Some of us out here just can't find any place off campus we can AFFORD and can't get enough damn financial aid to afford the dorms!! The rental market anywhere near SFSU campus is downright picky and racist and snotty about who they'll rent to; especially if you're native-California born and raised. They'd rather rent to the rich Asian immigrant student crowd which is increasingly what SFSU is becoming predominantly made up of. I'm a substitute teacher for the SFUSD and even I might have to take to sleeping in my car near the campus and using the showers at the gym to wash up and eating leftovers off of people's plates at the Cesar Chavez Student Union. I'm surprised ANYONE can afford to go to school there, let alone teach for that school district afterwards!! The SFUSD has the dubious distinction of being the ONLY school district that will hire you as a sub immediately after graduating from SFSU. All the other ones in the greater Bay Area don't want anyone fresh out of college in that they demand work references, even just to day-to-day SUB. These days the only thing San Francisco has going for it is the free health care!
