Yeah, there are cheaper places if you're going to bounce around. You can always head out west to BLM land and jump site to site every 2 weeks too, but that's not ideal if you need a job. And if you're going that route, you probably have time to fart around looking for unstaked mining claims. If you're capable of digging some holes, you can pay about $220/year to stake a 20 acre claim, then fill out the proper paperwork, you have a place to go for 3-6 months (you have to fill out an intent form and actually do some work, or you're limited to 2 weeks). Not ideal, but if you find yourself in a travel trailer, things aren't ideal anyhow.

Yeah, read the signs at the rest area entrances. They usually say "no overnight parking, except tractor trailers." If you want to sleep on the side of a highway, you can get a CDL and drive for 40¢/mile for Swift or whatever (do not do this).

We had no bathrooms during a renovation and 24 hour nationwide gym chains seem like a real innovation in homelessness. Thirty-three bucks a month gets you hot showers, potable water, and a place to charge devices in addition to an opportunity to getting swole. My local even has a tv lounge area by the occasionally staffed smoothie bar. If you hit the place after 11, nine times out of ten it's your private facility.

Ive never been homeless but I have been very, very poor and the amount of free poo poo you can score in a decently sized city is absurd, doubly so if you have a car.

Someone brought up how specialized mansions are the other day, and then seeing those pictures reminds me of a youtube channel that I love to hate, Enes Yilmazer. Everything about his channel is hilarious and tacky and fun and infuriating. This ones a perfect example of too big and too specialized for anyone to ever buy but there are lots of mansions that go for $15M and completely lack taste or sense or real direction. https://youtu.be/U8Cd_McCdow

It's gotta be regional because you can still start a lovely top loader for a dollar and a quarter gets you 8 minutes of high capacity dryer time here.

Yeah until quite recently I didn't have in unit laundry so I went to a laundromat and it was $1.50 to wash per machine, then you could pile two washers worth into one big dryer and put $1.75 in it and it'd dry it all. I brought 5 bucks a week to the laundro and ended up with a quarter to play street fighter 2. Also those tide pods that were a meme a while back are handy because you can just throw a couple in the same ziploc as your quarters and off you go

$1.75 for top loader, $4.00 for big front loader, 25¢ per 10min of dryer time. My apartment complex has a laundry room, but the dryer is more expensive and there's frequently busted machines. Also the change machines were stolen. And two of the washers will take turns stealing your money. So I go to the laundromat and read the latest Thrifty Nickel for an hour about once a month.

Construction is still kinda lagging and the prices for the new houses are insane because of material costs/scarcity but over here I'm seeing a LOT of constructions and if demand wanes with all these things not being sold you're going to see corrections.
