    As useful and needed as these might be, I can only imagine that anyone actually living in one would be constantly harassed by local authorities for parking/zoning violations.

    Society needs to be better!

      I’m imagining waking up in the middle of the night to someone riding the whole thing away with me still in it

        Ideally there’s a way to lock it down from the inside. A bar through the back wheel(s) or something.

      It’s still better than a tent or anything like it i presume. Because if someone is harassing them they can just pedal away.

      There’s space in the US west. But, one can’t live in those places without a motor or engine to procure water and food.

          What does God need with a starship?

          Super cool spot to boondock.

          But, if one wants to live rent free and with community, I suggest southeastern Utah or anywhere along America’s loneliest road. Be sure to read the vibe: It’s public land. But, it’s still not a good idea to remain where you’re not wanted.

    On one hand this is a nice way to help those in need.

    On another I can’t help but look and feel like I’m getting a glimpse of the working classes future. Capitalism needs to fucking die already.
