Interesting.

A very old friend of my daughter has an ex-rock band leader, ex-husband, current drug user and current drunk living in his car at a local Walmart.

Seems like a tough life.

He has two sources of income: Residuals from the good old days in the band and the occasional gal who is willing to put up with him for a few days in order to talk about those good old days.

There are decrepit motorhomes parked all around the Venice area that no doubt are being used as homes.

Seems like a tough life.

I did it during college for a while. It's not so bad if you find a safe place to sleep. Buying coffee will get you the use of a bathroom.

We have property now. Occasionally people park at a turnout I made along the County road. Frankly, as long as they don't trash the place and if they $hit bury it, I'm OK with it.

Been there, done that. None of us is so far above that lifestyle that we can't find a way to help the poor. It's what we did before there was welfare and keeps them from using more government services. I'm into employing as few bureaucrats as possible these days.
