I know that February is the dry season for most of CR. Here in the states El Nino has been wreaking havoc on the weather this year. Has it also impacted normal weather patterns in Costa Rica?...
Outside the cities, if you have a tent, I think it would be o.k., but don't think for a minute that you'd be safe in San Jose or Limon or other medium large cities. You might think that being a "pseudo-poor" hipster will endear you to the population, but in the cities there are quite a few beggars that will see you as super rich compared to them, and the "well-heeled" folks and police will more than likely not respect you. Costa Rica is beautiful but it's NOT Berkeley.

In San Jose, no way!!! At the beaches if u have a tent it´s ok, but it depends on the beach also

Costa Rica does NOT need any more homeless bums.
Try couch surfing.com It's a lot of people offering a couch to sleep on for a night or two to travelers . I've had several people stay with me since I joined a few months ago, and it's been a fun experience.

Simply spend a bit of money and stay with a family, that's what I'mgoing to be doing in a couple of weeks, and in terms of sleeping outside, there shouldn't be a problem so long as you get out of San Jose ASAP

it is ok to pitch a tent in the natoinal parks and some of the smaller beach towns.NOT in San Jose for sure.I would say you would be better of doing so in Guanacaste.
