Directly next to where I live there are multiple people living in the hillside.
Each day for the past year+ they park their BMW, Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry on our street, and then walk off into the park, hop a fence, and down to wherever it is their tents are.
It's really perplexing to see someone driving a ~2010 clean BMW while choosing to live in the hillside. My determination is that they're simply choosing that lifestyle for whatever reason.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoA 2010 auto is likely paid off. The carrying costs are low. That doesn't mean they can afford rent. It just means they have some income, but probably not enough to support a middle class lifestyle.

- imtringued 5y agoYou have a limited budget that isn't enough to pay rent. Do you choose paying the unaffordable rent or setting up the tent while maintaining your mobility?
