Just saw a couple living in their car.
I'm chilling in the parking lot of the gym right now and it's very apparent that there is a couple next to me living in their car. At first I thought they were just getting it on - she brushed her teeth and they both leaned their seats back. But I, being the confused creeper I am, looked through my car window again only to realize they're sleeping. Then it hit me.
They're living in their fucking car in a gym parking lot.
I don't know why I'm hit so hard by this, I'm sure you all see it often, but fuck. It makes me sad.

it's homelessness - intentional or not. there's a lot of factors at play. some folks like to blame landlords but the way I figure it, if you live in an area that you cant afford you'll eventually end up sleeping in a car outside of a gym - or on a slab of cardboard in an alley.
you have to remember too that some people choose to live that sort of lifestyle - like retirees who tour the country in RV's, they're just not in an RV yet.
No one chooses to be homeless. You don't sleep in your car outside a gym by choice. Having a cheap gym membership is a common survival tactic for people in that position. Gives them access to showers and bathrooms. These are not the "retire to a camp ground with my RV" types.
The reality is, our society chooses to allow that level of poverty to be maintained.
Dawg if you had ever slept rough in a car, you would know that no one chooses that.
if you had to choose between a shelter and a vehicle though?
Living in a shelter still counts as homelessness
They way I see it, I sincerely hope you never end up homeless.
