My issue with stories like this (and many stories of illegal behavior) is that this ‘resourcefulness’ could certainly be put to better uses.

““She was homeless,””

Nah, she had a home free of rent until some jerk caught her! ROFL

I have to admire her ingenuity! ;-)

I knew a guy who I guess you could call homeless. He didn’t live in a traditional home, instead had a shack on an unused piece of property. He kept it up well and lived off the grid in a suburb. He was an expert dumpster diver and made extra money collecting scrap metal. He was pretty stable and kept himself busy. He became a Christian after reading a Bible he found.

I sort of admired his lifestyle and ability to make it. This lady sounds similar. She was employed, just found a way to not pay rent.

The Terminal

Spielberg movie

Stuck for years in a French airport. I think he died there.

Left Out of the article:
A..What was she doing for toilet needs?

B..Did she ever trying to make money by renting out an empty corner; AirBnB style?

C..A single woman, who doesn’t own a mirror?

Opportunity! Take advantage of unused space and build more signs with integral shelters. Would preserve dignity too, as they can just say, like shopkeepers did for decades, that they “live above the store”.

“NOT homeless. Found a space and put it to use.”

Ironically she’s now homeless.

The movie was fiction, but based in some ways on a real situation of a person stuck in an airport:

Betcha it wasn’t just a coffee maker she had. Probably stole all her food from the store, too. The amount of the food probably would total up to felony-level.

In the middle ages in Europe people used to live in the city walls. Usually the spaces were about four to five feet wide and of course as long as needed. I have seen remanents when in the servive in Germany. Butzbach had city walls still remaining with evidence of past iving quarters.

Most supermarkets have bathrooms, and may have showers for employees.
