I think its great what you do bringing the awareness of what you do, not everyone has chose to be homeless. Life circumstances are not guaranteed good.
I'm 68 years old Living in my car. Had government housing 3 different times. I tried. Nothing but bed bugs, roaches and rats drugs killing kidnapping ex. And now the rents a so high I'm not giving anyone my whole check for rent can't even afford a coke or a Ramen soup so the people that do? They just sit in front of a TV waiting to die. I'll stay in my car. If I want coffee I can get it.if it's time to go fishing I can. If I don't get along with someone I can move. No bugs or rats no violence or drugs in my car no killing ex. I've a good peace of mind and contentment. Next month get a tent and camp for a while. I learn a long time ago material things don't make a person. And the world right now is run by spoiled rotten brats. I'll just hang at the fishing hole if I don't catch anything I'll cook prime rib on the grill. Sacrificing comfort for recreation and freedom good choice. My only wonder is what happens when I'm priced out homelessness
you definately have the right idea. However, cars DONT last forever. And they do break. So save a little too. Fishing is a great way to pass your time. get a metal detector and get a workout and dream about finding gold. (see your states laws first). A little metal detector and a fishing pole.. enjoy the LIFE your greatest assest. collect a little scrap wire copper and other valueable metals.. for one hotel stay a month or two. you can find lots of metals with a metal detector. some spots on the beach where people sit down are loaded with coins. collect coins and every six months cash out the change. your making the best of an otherwise bad situation. I bought my GMC truck with if we cant pay the rent someday, its a great living out of truck. a topper and a matress, and go explore america. kid you not when our lease expires i might go travel for 3 or 4 months before getting another place if were physically fit for it.
THANKYOU. It is NOT their fault. It is the greed and cruelty that insurance companies and our Governor who allowed our legislature TO DO IT! He signed on!
Rent has gone thru the roof ..i honestly dont know how much longer people can afford to pay it..msybe people need to do like the amish do everyone in the family lives under the same roof and take care of each other
we were going to stay, but we're going to take the loss on the sale of the condo and go back to Chicago. It's cheaper there. But I'll be going to the suburbs.
Jose this video is epic, your coverage of the homeless is great and this couple were well spoken and intelligent. You getting hurt on the job is never a good thing but it shows your dedication to the work you do, it's easy to see how much your work means to you, and I thank you for your content and all the and care you put into it. Sending get well wishes to you and hugs to you both... you are like family to me *smiles*
Survived through Ian in Cape Coral, right next to fort myers. Ian was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. There’s a weird calmness that comes over you when you realize you’re very close to death and having zero control of anything. Watching that water rise over the vehicles, over the mailboxes up the hill into the yard, and in the backyard it went up to the sea wall…and then another like five feet up over the wrought iron fence our neighbor has. It was wild. Shingles would explode against the house like bombs. I mean truly. Saw a house with about seven feet of a metal rod slammed through their ceiling straight into the house by their front door. Horrific storm. I slept outside for like a week and half. The entire time at night, I was awoken by helicopters flying over with cages, I’d assume rescuing out of pine island.
i left bonita springs in 1997 at that time it was a normal day to take 3 traffic light cycles to get thru one intersection, my mother had a saying, everywhere you go theres a herd
Super interesting content. 45 yr SoFloridian resident. Been through Andrew, i lived in Cutler Ridge, (before PTSD was a diagnosis). Irma, Islamorada. I was in Ocala for Ian. I knew. Then I hurt for Lee Co. Thanks for your channel.
