Anyone still living here must not think it is all that bad, otherwise they would have left for greener pastures already. How about that for a measure of how a citizen thinks about America? If you think of how the current slow movign American invasion is happening, it is because conditions elsewhere are intolerable enough to leave everything behind and make a bold leap into the unknown, and hopefully better. It was how America came about, and applying the same logic, if it was as bad as some think it is, why are they still here? If Venezuelans can vote with their feet across all the dangers between them and the US southern border, how ball-less are Americas to do it as well? Canada perhaps, it is a nice place, half of its speaks English. Some European countries would be nice etc etc.

3.1 million is near enough to 1%
of population.

I would spend more time outside under an annex, not just the small space inside. Have drop down zip up sides to an annex on the side, so you can enjoy breeze or block winds depending on weather

Problem is if you need place to have a desk and files, or a workshop and tools.

As long time readers know, I've always been a strong supporter of having a "Bugout Machine" as a collapse prep, not so much for civilization collapse asfor the more common local disasters or personal ones like losing your job and not being able to afford rent.  I kept my BMs continuously from 2008 through to after my amputation.  Always gave me an extra sense of security.  One of my best interviews was with Van Dweller, who had been living in his van since the 1960s.  He even lived here in Alaska for 3 years.  3 5 gallon cans of kerosene got him through the winters.

The subculture of people living this way is quite large, they have periodic meet ups each year in Arizona and Georgia  to share ideas, strategies, good locations and meet new people.  Sort of like nomadic HGs in prehistoric times.

Far as tools go, usually they carry quite a few,, many are itinerant construction workers.

Here's a nostalgic video from when I ran my food truck in the parking lot of my old apt.


Many more still up on the Diner Utube Channel.

As you can see here in this article, the housing situation continues to deteriorate at a rapid pace, from an already pretty bad baseline.  Far as political issues go, this one SHOULD be #1 on the Demodopes agenda and step up to the plate with a national plan for building affordable housing.  If they start hammering on that and drop letting trannies compete in girls sports, they might actually win some elections.
