why would you have a car when you don't have a place to live. There's a piece of the logic I am missing
You can easily buy a used car for less than two months rent around here. Less if you shop around for a deal. That car provides transportation, shelter, and does not need to be repurchased every month.
When I was 20-ish it would have cost as much to own a car than to rent an apartment even if you never drove anywhere. Realities vary.
