Living in a car? Where to park (advice)


The Habit... (Kesho Scott)
It is said there are only about 40,000 homeless unhoused individuals in the megalopolis Los Angeles. What's a "bum" to do, having to go to work all day sometimes at multiple jobs, stay clean, find a restroom, take a shower, socialize, and not have anywhere to call "home" at night? Most Los Angelenos have no idea what it means to be without adequate housing. They may find out.

This is a very expensive city to try to exist in. It's worse in colder San Francisco and New York. As we drive around the City of Lost Angels, we see plastic tarp camps, bridge houses, tents, shopping carts, junk piles, drug dens everywhere. It's nice that the police are not brutally running people off, but this situation can't hold.

It's as if the Powers That Be are allowing it until everyone, including all the compassionate liberals/progressives, are sick to death of it. Then the draconian measures will be unleashed. Until then, how to survive under the margins? How to sneak by and make a life? How to go to the Edge and not fall off? This nice gentleman reveals some secrets, like that old book The Habit of Surviving by Kesho Scott.

BOOK: In The Habit of Surviving: Black Women's Strategies for Life four Black women talk candidly about their lives, their roles as wives, mothers, and daughters, and their work, set within the context of the history of Black women in North America.
