I watched the documentary on a place called slab city

Everybody who's living there is saying how great it is, but at the same time they were talking about vigilante justice and if you leave your stuff too long people would steal it and it was incredibly dirty...
no running water ,plumbing, or soap, apparently 😭

Ive seen that. Pretty scary and im a very street wise person, but geesus. This is how life would be if the monetary system collapsed. The strongest survive. Lawlessness and clans the new rulers of districts.

I guess, I'm glad it doesn't have to be tested.
I came close to being homeless once and lived in a motel for a while.
It wasn't very long and I got a job, but it was kind of scary.
It wasn't the nicest of motels in the world .
One guy was kind of creepy.
I finally lied to him and told my boyfriend was going to be there in a few minutes, which I didn't have.

@Justmeraeagain It is scary. Im glad it didnt hapoen to you. I try not to judge because most of us are just 1 pay check from being homeless. Especially in these times. Ive been homeless twice. Once at 19. Then at 47. Im very very greatful to have a roof over my head. Food. Freedom to move and now i love the bliss of ignorance and to live in my bubble and hopefully those times never hit me again.

@Perry1968 yeah, you never know what somebody's story is and I can always have some empathy ,but it does have to be mixed with common sense, of course.
I've given out food to the homeless before and I worked at a soup kitchen a few times.
I only met one really out of their head person and who knows what happened to her to make her that way.
Oh, wow, I think that’s down near San Diego. What channel was the documentary on ?

Never heard of Slab City, so I looked it up. Sounds like an interesting place, but not a place I'd ever want to live.

@Rutterman
I'd be afraid of getting some kind of disease

Wow thats heartbreaking for anyone to live like that

@AngelUnforgiven they seem to think it's great because they don't have to adhere to any society rules but I think most of us would not choose to live that way

@Musicman I am not sure, think it's California out in the desert area
