No running water. Electric heat, power, a tent in the garage, and satellite internet. Where does shelter end and lifestyle choice begin?
Technically, I own the homeless shelter I'm homeless in. It's a tent inside a workshop. No running water—but there is power, electric heat, a laptop, and Starlink.
Is that homelessness or an extremely complicated lifestyle choice? It depends on whether the arrangement provides safe, stable, adequate housing and whether there is a realistic alternative. The internet connection does not settle the question.
I may not have plumbing, but I do have Wi-Fi from space.
Infrastructure isn't the same thing as housing.
A humorous reflection on an improvised living arrangement, not a statement about anyone else's housing situation.
