Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm always asking questions. The reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as
what does it mean to this generation when homelessness continues
to evolve into new layers of survival that doesn't always
guarantee proper shelter, plus making that choice to leave it
all behind to take up the journey inside a worn
(00:22):
out RV. My name is Erro. I'm a daily writer,
a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to
call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning pages. As a receiver
of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw
things to the side and deal with it later. When
(00:43):
a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time
to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but
by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is
the daily Mess. A recent study shows an increase in
the number of families who have been forced out of
their apartments in homes to live in an RV. But
(01:04):
it's not as easy as one would think. It's not
the old adage of pull in and plug it in.
The study reveals it's not a choice anymore to live
your life in a worn out RV. It's actually earned
the name vehicular homelessness. Those doing it day after day
in an RV come from all walks of life, but
(01:24):
there's a huge difference between r V ers who are
homeless and those who choose to live in tents. Vehicle
dwellers are more likely to be women with children. Homeschooling
is on the internet if you can get it. Homeless
campsites usually don't come with running water, so it has
to be conserved, which means taking your bath in a
(01:45):
nearby creek, and bathroom use is always outside. Why the
RV over a tense Well, it's all about having more privacy.
Most go into RV's survival thinking it's a short term situation.
That is absolutely not true. Legal barriers stand in your way,
so do lack of finances and other support systems. Everything
(02:08):
turns your life into something very quickly, so for many
of them they never go back to regular living. Coming
up next, let's stay on this subject, making the choice
to live in a pre owned RV over the stereotypical
tint Hey thanks for coming back. To the daily mess.
(02:30):
Making the choice to live in a pre owned RV
over the stereotypical tint. In a circle of other travelers,
it's looked upon as doing the best that you can
in a situation without going to a shelter. Vehicular homelessness
is the real deal. How much of it is actually
making a physical choice over having no other options. Some
(02:50):
see it as a voluntary move, and the RV circles
aren't as big as one might assume, because upkeep is
keeping a lot of users tied up to repair that
can't be afforded. An RV is a traveling house. They
break down often and repairs aren't simple. Ask anyone using
an RV as a home over a tent, and they'll
(03:12):
point the finger at cities that absolutely refuse to invest
in affordable living and housing. They see the RV as
being less dangerous. One word of warning from the experts.
The intention may have been to enter this stage of
life then easily escape it at times when things get better.
Studies continue to show it's not going to be that easy.
(03:34):
The longer you stay in that RV, the more permanent
it becomes. The RV class of a different generation do
some research, take the steps, but at the same time
remain aware I'm Arrow and that's the daily mess
