It's just too easy for a fully functional, intelligent, experienced person with a solid job history and marketable skills.

The first few hours, or at most first few days, might be mildly interesting. But after a week IMO anyone here would be set up and then it would be a monotonous, boring process of saving up $500.

A clean, reasonably dressed, intelligent person dropped in a city with the only task being to find a place to ride it out temporarily while trying to accumulate $500 simply isn't going to experience any significant "real world strife and struggle" for you to show, IMO.
you would not have any evidence of that experience or solid job history under the rules of the OP

you would need to survive until you got paid - and you might just get stiffed out of your pay too (ask any employment lawyer)

also, social services vary from city to city, AND are prioritized with women and children getting beds first, single men at the very last

but I do think a healthy young male could survive and make it for several months, even as a homeless person - I don't see them getting a rental as it would be hard to accumulate the 1st, last & deposit in that time (here it would be at least $1,500 up front; more like $2,000) while still getting food & etc. to live on
