A little rant,
Hey guys, been on and off the road for 10 years now. Seeing new places, meeting amazing people and experiencing new cultures. Always at the bottom of this travel I've been searching for a place to exist whether its a minute, a night or a month. In my wandering I've found that I'm not alone in this.
Ive discovered recently, the times ive been content, if not close to something they call happy, with my living situation. Its been in encampments, political occupations, or visiting faerie sancturies.
By political occupation, i mean squats, occupy, standing rock etc.
I firmly believe in housing as a right and not a privledge, yet i still find myself homeless and wandering. Living off the "help" of others that have adjusted well to this society.
I want to have somewhere to go back to, a place myself and others can find refuge from this insane reality. Im told owning land, is a solution. To me its seems a trap, another problem another bill, something i can still lose at any moment reguardless of the size of the paper that says i "own" it.
I struggle with this. Will i really never have a place to exist unless i own land? Will i be able to live free on that land? Or just be dragged back into a system that oppresses me to work to pay for some empty promise?
Ill likely head back to Slab City while i contemplate this..
If anyone on here has successfully aquired land in any way and set up alternative housing, without getting fucked with by the government and adding to their troubles, please reach out and let me know this is possible. I read a lot of hopeful threads of spots starting or being planned, but then nothing..
Thanks guys<3
