The cruelest thing about my situation and being #unhoused is being reduced to living in one of the things I most hate in the world. A #Car.

I am fundamentally opposed to the culture of cars that destroys everything it touches. I hadn't owed a car in years and planned to never own another. Now I live in one. The #financial toll on me is mind numbing.

What do you suppose rapidly climbing #Gas prices will do to #Disabled and #Unhoused people living #Cars? I literally cannot walk from place to place while carrying belongings needed to survive.

How much is society at large, major media outlets, podcasters, local and state and federal governments are going to care?

How much will the private #Prison industry's profits increase as people are forced from their cars and on to streets they are not allowed to live on?
