Yeah, 3 times over the last decade but mostly in a row cause it’s hard to claw your way back up. I found a storage unit was nice the second time cause as long as I knew I could only take a couple hour naps during the day all my stuff was at least safe at night and I just needed to find somewhere safe to hang out.

Last time I got lucky with a flop house that was cheap but… Definitely a flop house. I couldn’t imagine it right now though. Been sheltered for a few years now and it certainly does seem rougher and the weather less helpful.

I’m shocked Hoovervilles haven’t made a return but land is a lot more private now and people are more willing to obey the law.
