Excerpted per rules.

I can see some of the appeal of avoiding unnecessary excess, but this is too extreme for me. Also, the "can't afford to buy a house" problem seems to be directly tied to the desired location.

I wonder what she uses when nature calls at 2am?

Sorry, but bathroom is essential. So is heat and running water.

Will you be required to purchase homeowners insurance with your auto insurance? LOL! Maybe they’ll bundle it for you and give you a discount. Poor whittle snowflakes can’t seem to grow up.

They think they will be twenty-something forever. Try living like this till you’re 40, and when they are 60, they will be a huge problem for the country. Perhaps this is when Mandatory Expiration Dates will be instituted by government.

She’s 28 years old and acting like a 10 year old who’s camping out in the back yard. Shouldn’t she be married by now with her second kid on the way? Oh, that’s right! Liberal Femi-Nazis have so beaten down the male population, that there’s no one to marry and procreate with anymore!

Sounds like a really good way to become a homicide victim...or worse yet, get ‘house’ hacked.

Other than some obvious logistical challenges, I'm not sure I can find any reason to criticize her. She's basically using a Ford Explorer as a cheap RV. Her bathroom needs are likely a function of where she's parked at night, and since she has a gym membership she's got regular showers covered.

Personally, I think there is an enormous business opportunity out there for anyone who can come up with a "life on the road" concept that can meet the needs of people like this who see home ownership as a financial disaster.

If there are any real estate developers out there reading this, please FreeMail me. I have had some ideas about this for some time, and it might be worth a conversation.

Further, working in Seattle means you might have to deal with traffic but there are certainly affordable housing options an hour south.

So this piece begins with a pile of horse manure.

I am fixing up our 16X20, 320 sq. ft. cabin right now for possible future rental. It has a full kitchen, bathroom with shower, no tub. A small dinner table, double bed and recliner. Would be great for one person or couple with no kids.

Might sound cool but squeezing people with no storage, and less and less but they’re trying to glamorize sans the problems. No storage, or the woman in the car, no toilet or shower, no cooking area nor areas for again food storage or prep. And what happens when these oh so happy singles decide it’s time for a family? Slumming like that is fine and some people like it but sometimes it costs more or the same finding say a laundromat, toilet facilities, a PO box for proof you actually live somewhere.
It’s the old adage, live cheaper be happy with less but this will turn in to slums and health hazards sooner or later.

sleeping bag on the street.. next up homeless shelter...I suppose what this woman is doing is next although there is a whole range. Not going to work too well in a smart car. This lady is at least in an SUV. You can keep going up to luxury motor home I guess. Trailer park and maybe houseboat before you get to apartments and detached houses. Camping is somewhere in the mix there too.

expensive apartment/condo living in California is fine if you can afford to throw your money away to pay someone elses mortgage. the more affordable apartment living is crap. bad neighbors, bad maintenence, bad landscape, bad pest control, bad management.

Also, the "can't afford to buy a house" problem seems to be directly tied to the desired location.

Darn right. I have one tenant (because landlording is an extreme sport). He pays less than 400/month for a single detached 3BR house in a good neighborhood (because it isn't Manhattan or Chicago). I don't need the income, and he causes no headaches, and he keeps the wildlife at bay; so it's all good. But the going rate would be 800 at most.

You want to live where an apartment costs over a thousand, you want it bad enough to live in a car...go for it. Still, even a "desirable location" has tax sales and fixers that are cheaper (and more secure) than your next car.

When Shawna Nelson leaves her office in Seattle’s suburbs, she does what 28-year-olds often do: dines with friends, goes out dancing, or sees a show. Sometimes she hits her swanky gym.

So, the money that could be used to rent an apartment is instead going for a "swanky gym" membership, eating out, plus "entertainment".

A moderately attractive 28 year old should be able to find some guy who would be happy to let her live in his place and sleep in his bed -- unless she is a complete nut case who nobody would want to live with.
