Seattle seems like a bad idea with high costs + all the rain.

She's the younger, less bubbly version of chopstick.

Get a car. I've traveled around the country sleeping in my car. Get a national gym membership for showers and you're set.

Coincidentally I'm embarking on another one tomorrow.

Any inexpensive cars suitable for sleeping? Would prefer not to get a van/SUV

What exactly is "a homeless lifestyle"?
Is that a way to say that you have a place to live, but you you don't want to have a job, pay for food, bathe regularly, etc so that you can live in a similar fashion to the stereotypical homeless person? As in something you're choosing to do in order to be viewed by others in a certain way?

Are you simply living in area where you can't afford to live on your salary?

Or is a "homeless lifestyle" just a nice way to say you're straight up being a bum and living out of a shopping cart?

Do you have tinted windows? Ever been asked to move while sleeping?

A station wagon would work. You could even put a swag in it and be relatively comfortable.

Tinted windows, not super dark but I have those dark sunshades that I put up.

Never been asked to move or been hassled. Walmart parking lots, hospital garages, more upscale housing developments (just make sure I arrive after dark and leave around sunrise.)

I know a guy who knows a good spot.

Gets free internet from a trailer park, just a lotta coyotes hanging around. Gotta roll with the punches in this life.
