I am not a huge fan of people who try to be something that they aren't. I remember last year a group of people 'starved' themselves for 2 days so they would know what it was like to live in a 3rd world country. That wasn't cool to me. I also don't think much of people who pretend to be homeless to be trendy either. Anyone that has read Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk will know better.
Anyway, if this guy was posing as a homeless person to actually try to make a difference and help them, then more power to him. Barbara Einrich (sp?) wrote a book called Nickled and Dimed. For this book she went to a few cities to see if she could make it on minimum wage. It was done very professionally and she didn't run home when times got rough. However, if he was doing it for a look at me moment and to talk about how horrible his days were, well he doesn't get much pity from me. As you said, he has a house to go back to.
