Considering identifying as a migrant and living in Roosevelt hotel for free

Current ib analyst at a sweatshop.  Work horrendous hours.  Only in my apartment to sleep(barely sleep anyways). Never eat there.

Lease is ending and considering claiming migrant status and moving in to the Roosevelt hotel or one of several midtown shelters set up.  Could just sleep my 4 hours a night there then head back to office. 

Save a ton of money to help pay off my student loans 

-i look Hispanic and have a Hispanic last name

-can speak Spanish

Technically I'm not lying...I'm a "refugee" from insane nyc rent/debt

Anyone think this could work?  Should I just show up when the weekly bus from Texas shows up and follow everyone to the hotel?  There's like 2k arriving every week.

Eh, the probability of getting shanked/diddled in one's sleep is high, even if only sleeping for 2 hours a night.

Personally, I take my perks from NYC lawlessness in the form of shoplifting. As long as I live in a lawless jungle among criminals, you got me soooooo fucked up if you think I'm waiting in line and going into my pocket to grab a few snacks and some body wash from the store. Throw that shit in the bag and keep it pushin'

I see it as Atlas Shrugged. If everybody stops giving a fuck eventually they'll have to do something.
