      @@debralpateart8862 some people do it to save up money to move into a legit place. Better than being on the streets for a while I guess. Search RUclips, you'll see videos of people who are intentionally living in storage units so as not to have to pay high rents. It's illegal but people are doing it. They run electricity off of car batteries for lighting, use a small microwave, a heat plate to boil water for coffee and tea. Some run extensions cords from outlets at the facility if it's an indoor storage facility, but they risk getting caught when they do that. It is, apparently, a thing.

      I don't know... Been one step away from the street more than once. NEVER thought of a storage unit. I think it is pretty resourceful. Not ideal, but safer than the street, I think. We (as a society) need to get more creative about spaces that might help the homeless. Buying up old storage units and installing shared shower facilities, bathrooms and laundry rooms might help a lot of folks.

    I think she was couch surfing for sleep as there doesn't appear to be a bed or bed roll. The woman here was storing all her stuff for life and beauty/clean clothing. The things to look presentable and not homeless. The Foo Dogs and the fabulous pictures etc. She was using this for her daily needs, clothes, makeup, food (which you will keep or donate to a food shelf) and personal information. Very resourceful of her.

    I would love to know the story on the person who’s unit it was, something was going on there. Could have been living in it, who knows.
    I had a girlfriend that rented a storage unit behind her house. Told me the one next to hers this guy rented, he had it furnished with a bed, chair etc.
    She told me he would come, change, and dress as a woman and set in it and listen to the radio. Seems his wife didn’t know about this aspect of his life
    My girlfriend and me go up to her storage unit one day to load up for a show and there’s this van parked there, we start loading my truck
    Door to the van opens up and there is the guy from next door in this black evening dress and high heels. Girlfriend introduces me, I shake his hand and make some small talk
    We pull out to leave and I see the van door open and this other guy gets out and they go into his unit!
    OK

You probably have $40-$50 there minimum.(Probably more ) Then there are probably another $40 plus in clothing items that will fit you like that yellow jacket. That saved you another $40-50 if you bought them at Thrift store prices. So you are up LEAST about a $100... plus there is the thrill of the ' treasure hunt'.
