I agree with Thumper & Colsim, if thats what he chooses then let him be.
But don’t pity the guy. It’s his choice to live like that. In the ACT we have a very good public housing system. As Loadedog mentioned there is a loooong waiting list for public housing, but we also have a section called ‘Emergency Housing’ the list for this type of accomodation is about a week. You don’t get much, a small dodgy bed-sit in a dump block of units, but it’s a place to sleep.
I’m not going to publicise any details about his whereabouts other than that I’ve suspected someone lived there for a while.
I think if he just wants to be left alone then it is a bit unkind to publicise his whereabouts on the web.
I know where this guy is – if it wasn’t for the bright blue tarp, you’d never know he was there at all.
Each to their own I guess, as long as he isn’t someone who’s slipped through the cracks.
A good read. I think there was a similar story about the same man and camp a while back in NowUC.
