It’s not you. FR seems to be broken, again. Every thread I’ve read this morning has a double/triple/quadruple post.
As all the poo pooers sit 14 deep at one red light of the 15 they will sit in today, lock the 17 items they need to lock or try to recall one of the 734 passwords that control their life, ponder all this man is missing out on.
Cities like where I live (Phoenix) that need driving have become pure hell.
I would kill for a walk in closet.
Haha...My husband is probably neater than me. But, I have my limits.
My grandmother in northern Alabama had a neighbor like that down the road. We knew him only as "Mr. Hayes" and he lived alone for over 40 years in an unpainted building that looked more like a barn than a house. He was never married so when his parents passed away, he just stayed on the property. His siblings had long moved away and lost contact with him. He had no telephone anyhow, so my grandmother and other neighbors would check in on him now and then and bring him groceries.
As kids (this was back in the 1970s) we would walk down there and he was always nice enough to us. He had yellow teeth and drank Coca-Cola non-stop. His entire place was in fact full of empty Coke bottles. The old fashioned glass ones. He wore the same frayed coveralls every single day, like the farmers of the Depression era used to wear. He lived to be well into his 90s. Rumor had it that he was mentally impaired but he always seemed sharp as a tack to us kids and always had good stories to tell.

Don’t we all.

Amen...

That is a feature!
They charge extra for that.
Nothing wrong with the way he is living. I knew a man whose house burned, so he moved what he had left to his well house and lived there.
—”He reminds me of Richard L. Proenneke.”
I remember him well, a fascinating story.
I sent one of his many videos to my father in law and he watched all he could find! A former Navy ships Doc and he enjoyed seeing his Sailors do well.
The last time I looked only a few of the videos were available, someone had purchased them and they were pay-per-view???
Land, at that time, in the backwoods of the Ozarks was more expensive than that! He made out well!
he did!!
“Life below zero” has some examples of similar. Alaska peeps who choose to live away from others. Some are ealthy (airplanes, easy living), others are poor (no power tools at all). Fascinating to me.

True. But they won’t be individual houses. They will be a part of a “hive” of apartments. Chicago’s Cabrini Green and Stalinist apartments comes to mind.
He doesn’t look like he’s missed any meals.
