Would you consider yourself "homeless" if you owned a small cargo van or a larger UPS style step van? Sure, your address would change from 1313 Mocking Bird Lane to "WPL 683", BUT, would you be truly "homeless"?

• Just head to your local motor home dealer or Home Depot & purchase a sink & vanity, porta potti(shitter!) & a carpet remanant & your rockin! Cides, ya can pull into the local homeless encampment down at the RR tracks & they'll look at ya like a FULL STATUS BIG SHOT(FSBS)! Proof that SOCIAL CLASS exists even amongst the pikers! As far as that large UPS step van goes... "Get one, before homelessness gets you"!

• Have a friend, Brian, who's lived out of his van/bus for periods of time --- the stories he has to tell --- and right in downtown Toronto. He used to know, even in the city, where to find the apple trees in the Don Valley (which runs throughout Toronto), where to fish (He's in his early 60's now --- the rivers weren't in such bad shape when he was younger), etc. A real 'live off of the land' kind of guy.
   
  Plays drums, flute, has the proverbial grey beard with long hair, etc. etc. (Once, when he showed up at a church beach party with his head and beard totally shaved off no one knew who he was for about 3 minutes! Totally TRUE!! lol!) He'd grow gardens in 'non-comformist spaces' and reap the harvest tax-free. Ha! That Brian! Haven't seen him since the spring. (I've thought its time to have him over again. Plays the banjo, too, and lately when he's been over he & I have jammed a bit, with me on the piano.)

• Ha! He sounds like a fun guy.. I've met a few like him myself over the years. They're usually pretty good story tellers.

• Spicy Hot, ya need to extend your avatar up to the bottom of your neck! That avatar's not spicy hot that's a bleedin' volcano, melt down here folks, melt down! Compared to those poor homeless with the rucksack, tent & sleeping bag on their backs, that step van would be a MANSION, IF, ya could afford to drive it!!!

• If I lived in a van I would probably just get a Post Office box. What is the difference between living in an RV (which many people do) and a van? I've stayed in RV parks where vans are staying right next door.
