A butterfly flapping it's wings in Armenia effects the weather in Seattle. Don't kid yourself, dawg, everything is connected...at least to those paying attention. I guess to a numbed out drone nothing really matters...this post is not for them, they have their Prozac.

Also...i don't have crap piled over every square inch of my van! THAT is a dead giveaway that you are disorganized and have too much(which is worse than being 'homeless'!)Most people have WAY too much stuff, far more than they need. Some of them live in cars/too. I have what I really need so I have room ROOM LEFT OVER! I'm more interested in what I know, than how much I can cart around (or fill a house with). Life can be amazing JUST BEING YOURSELF and not weighed down by stuff(or stigmas).

I know you think no one knows...but they do.

Anyway, why do you keep commenting? You have nothing to do with van living. Your videos show a fully indoor setting.

Matthew, these are honest working people trying to save money from artificially inflated housing costs. Many of them have college degrees so be careful who you tread on, because some day it might be you.

I live in my van and you would never know it to look at it. That's only because I planned it that way and purposefully drive a late model van that doesn't look so hoopty. I slept overnight at a rest stop in Indiana a few nights ago and a policeman banged on the side of a hoopty van a few cars down, but he didn't seem to notice my van. I hate to think people are being vehicle profiled now, but it's the truth. Even the videographer who posted this video does it. That's a shame.

Hi! I am dropping by and putting you on my Facebook page: Homeless: Could you be next? Thank you for your Youtube vid. I am living in my van also. God bless you. America is dying slowly and people need to wake up to realize it. Everyday I hear about another person falling out of the American Dream. Thanks for your work!

The cops will beat the crap out of a poor white guy ten times quicker than they will a poor black because they that no boby speaks for poor whites people unlike blacks .

Wow. Prick- better cover up the liscense plates, and realize that people who RV are not all "homeless".

@Dynapro100 a rv is one thing even a very small one. but i don't think i could ever do a van. i part timed my truck camper that means i had a place to go if need be but it aruldy has everything i need. most people van setups lack many things.

[ManOfWealthnTaste]

Awesome video. Im looking for a Ford van to buy & live in.

[Dynapro100]

living in a vehicle is no different then living in a house your still living there a drunks who live in houses just as well i personally love the idea of living in a vehicle there is so much more to enjoy and a lot more money left to spend. most ppl who live in there vehicles are alot cleaner considering they have less room to fill. why would you think ur better then someone who lives in a vehicle?? its ppl like you i walk away from cuz i dont need a million dollar mortgage to live rich.

You picked the one sunny day in Seattle to find these? These units look absolutely dilapidated. It's a wonder some of them even run.

[label1877]

If I was a bum...Seattle is a great place to hang. Good weather and so many handouts from the bleeding heart liberals... I could spend every nickel of my government checks on dope and alcohol. Bums and deadbeats...go west ...or north west... we in America's heartland do not want you!

I lived in my van for 8 months with my dog. It was a good experience. It would be a great way of life if it were not for misconceptions and judgements and cops. They knock on your windows at 3 am....but in 8 months that only happened like 4 times.
