Homeless woman was living inside Michigan rooftop store sign with computer and coffee maker
Police in Michigan say a startling discovery was made on the roof of a Michigan grocery store: A woman was living inside the store sign for roughly a year.
She wasn't homeless until they found her and kicked her out.
How many of you read this headline and considered how much money youd save on rent?
Honestly. My first thought was 'good for her.'
Went through a quick list of store signs in the area, tbh.
Same
Oh no, not a computer and a coffe maker! Doesn't she know homeless people can't have those? Scandalous, this scum trying to live like real people!
Was that your read on the headline?
No, that was my reaction to the headline.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Contractors curious about an extension cord on the roof of a Michigan grocery store made a startling discovery: A 34-year-old woman was living inside the business sign, with enough space for a computer, printer and coffee maker, police said.
The woman, whose name was not released, told police she had a job elsewhere but had been living inside the Family Fare sign for roughly a year, Warren said.
A spokesperson for SpartanNash, the parent company of Family Fare, said store employees responded “with the utmost compassion and professionalism.”
“Ensuring there is ample safe, affordable housing continues to be a widespread issue nationwide that our community needs to partner in solving,” Adrienne Chance said, declining further comment.
The director of a local nonprofit that provides food and shelter assistance said Midland — which has a population 42,000 — needs more housing for low-income residents.
“From someone who works with the homeless, part of me acknowledges she was really resourceful,” said Saralyn Temple of Midland’s Open Door.

I hope the person was able to crash there at least a bit relaxed. I'd be afraid to make noises or to be seen at the wrong time or places when getting home.
Reminds me of an episode of Malcolm In The Middle.
Bro, it reminds me of two episodes of Malcolm lol.
One the dude living inside Lucky's Aid, and the second is the protesting in the spectacular woman sign haha.
I don't remember that second one. Will have to try and track that down.
