Creative Homeless Turn Bottom Of Highway 65 Into Two-Bedroom Apartment

Police officers in Lincoln say they couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw it. A two-bedroom apartment inside of Highway 65.

It's not as if they had a dump truck showing up at their home to pick up trash like most people do. They probably kept it inside to avoid attention.

Many homeless people are mentally handicapped and might not have the executive functioning to worry about trash when they're fighting starvation every day.

I went through homelessness for awhile. I remember one night it was so cold and snowy. This guy told me he’d take me to his camp but I couldn’t tell anyone. I’ll be damned if we didn’t crawl from the underside of the highway into this space where he had been living for 2yrs. It was amazing. He had it laid out like a real apartment. I couldn’t believe he found it, much less, that he was able to use it for so long. But really, no one should be shocked. If you have nothing, and nothing to lose, you’re gonna do what you have to do to survive. It’s easy for people to look at a story like this from the comfort of their homes and shake their heads. But life looks real different when you have no place to call home

[@cynthialowery2072]

Ms Garcia, I was homeless once with my kids, for less than a month. In my situation, An acquaintance allowed me and my teenage kids to stay with him until My apartment was available ( we lived in a $1.3 million dollar home prior), but hell I grew up with little…I have nothing but respect for all those in the struggle!!! ❤️‍🩹

[@DanielBooneSpoon]

Amen to everything you said! you speak the truth! I went through two years of homelessness in Raleigh N.C. and your perspective changes relatively fast when you have nowhere to sleep when the sun goes down not to mention no family, no one to ask for a helping hand. You also find out really quickly who your friends are when you have nothing to offer except your so called "friendship" ...... people you knew for years somehow vanish!

[@aprilgarcia6119]

@@DanielBooneSpoon To be honest, I found more compassion from other homeless people than I did from anyone I actually knew. Even your own family would rather cut you out of their lives in shame than offer a place to stay. But on the flip side, I learned to appreciate small things that I had taken for granted before. I learned to be patient with people that are going through stuff. And I also learned how to trust GOD to care for me when I wasn't taking care of myself. At the time I was homeless, I felt so small and insignificant. I wanted to be invisible. I wish we were wearing masks then, just so I could have had the illusion of anonymity. It was definitely a dark time for me. But overall, I do believe I am a better person for experiencing it. Everything we go through in life just prepares us for the next. In retrospect, I don't regret having been where I've been. It's all just part of of the process for me. And I'm still standing, clean with a place to live, a job, a relationship with GOD and my family. I hope your life is in a much better place now.

Let's face it, this is an overpass; not exactly an ideal place to hang your hat. No running water, electricity, heating or cooling, and what I assume would be a deafening roar above their heads at all times...for these people to choose this place as their home instead of a condo at the beach or something, they're obviously not living the life of riley. They might be struggling with mental illness, abuse, addictions, joblessness or any combination. Whatever the case, they probably have it hard enough as it is and could really use some kindness. This story *should* have been so different. They could have made a real difference in somebody's life, but instead there was someone even *less* safe going to sleep that night than they were before the law showed up and swung their justice dick around. Isn't that just the most back assward thing? I guess their interpretation of "to protect and serve" is just different than I would have hoped.

@@youtubevideos3963 what they showed in this video did look like a pile of trash more than anything else. however, i wouldn't say that about homeless people in general. if you're a natural born citizen, then it's very difficult to be a part of society: because a good portion of society these days requires people to disown the united states declaration of independence and declare that they were born into this country, entitled to it, while bloodline and territorial birthrights are everything this country is not. if you were born naturally and don't have a birth certificate or if you refuse to use birth certificates because they undermine the very foundation of the united states, then you are prevented from owning property and banned from working or traveling. i got hired by cinemark recently and was then immediately fired when they found out i didn't have a birth certificate. they won't let you ride on interstate buses anymore if you're natural born either. and bank accounts are out of the question. why would you choose to "rejoin" a society that treats people this way based on their birth and their support of the united states? just because i honor the declaration of independence and believe that citizenship is always a choice: never an entitlement, that doesn't mean that i should be treated so badly by people that would rather sell out america.

@@caruniv3287 no actually it’s kind of sickening tbh that people ask me that. Not everyone who is homeless is a drug addict etc. This story took place when I was 17-18 finishing up high school and family died and left me with nothing but my crazy aunt who did drugs and because they already struggled with money and didn’t leave me anything, no money no house nothing. My aunt struggled with being institutionalized on multiple occasions but she was the only one I could go to because she was the one family member my family and I knew with a house and extra room and bed for me and she was my godmother so my parents intentions were if anything ever happened she would help. She has mental issues though like OCD suicidal thoughts PTSD and depression. She was abused by her own mother and was on numerous medications (that didn’t help) in conclusion, she kicked me out (in the rain and threw all my stuff out there too) called the cops and made a lie I pushed her so she could get me out of the way and get her room back to rent to someone else who would pay her way for drugs . bc I couldn’t pay her money bc at my minimum wage job I was only making enough to feed myself and pay my bills. She drew the line when I was having trouble getting food stamps and threw me out. You all are repulsive to judge like you’re god. People are so stereotypical and judgements it’s sickening they always tie homelessness to drugs, blondes to dumb, etc. but I guess that’s life, it doesn’t make me wonder why life is the way it is currently though. A mess, people living longer, I know if I was Jesus and died on a cross for everyone I would be pissed and wouldn’t want to chill with any of y’all with the mindset you all hold upon your shoulders. Make out what you want from it. I know where Jesus stands with me for he’s the only one that’s been by me my whole life and he is the only one I care for when he judges me. Which you shouldn’t judge, as it’s Jesus job to judge and with u as his child you should do nothing but love without judgement. That’s your only job, life is a test and being able to love without judgement and recognizing what Jesus would do in all situations is all u have and need to study with. Despite this, thanks for your condolences

[@princesscaliduh]

@@FuZe. It’s amazing to me you’re so judge mental along with the 4 people who liked your comment. What’s amazing to me (and not in a good way) is how you think you know everything including the lesson I was meant to learn. Talking like you’re Jesus Christ himself, it’s no wonder why the world is the way it is. Obviously it’s your turn for a lesson. Which I know exactly what you were implying, it’s amazing I’m still here because I didn’t get shot or arrested. FYI, it was my own family’s garage. It was my god mother’s (aunt) garage whom my parents left me with when I was 17 right before they passed and left me. Mind you, my aunt has mental health issues and was in the mental hospital on numerous occasions during her years of living but it was the only place I was able to go to lay my head down to sleep every night so I could finish up high school. She had episodes especially when she misused her prescribed medication for she was on a lot of different ones. She has an episode where one day she threw me out because the minimum wage job I was working only afforded to buy me food and pay my other miscellaneous bills like car insurance (which was in the 400 range a month) phone bills etc. she needed money for her drug usage and decided to throw me out so she could rent the room I was staying in to someone who can pay her way for her drug usage. I was also homeless during this time and living out of my car in the summer heat while trying to work and people were making fun of me. All I had in my car was clothes and a bible. Moreover, if you’re implying the lesson I learned was to trust nobody but Jesus, for the test of life is to see if I can be like him or not (revelations- the testimony of life is the prophesy of Jesus Christ) , to learn to be able to forgive someone like my aunt when the Bible says to forgive like Jesus forgave you (Ephesians 4:32) and to idolize Jesus because he doesn’t want to hangout with judgmental people (like you) on the other side, then ya , I guess I learned my lesson. stop judging like you’re Jesus, that’s his job. You never know what people are going through so pretty sure your job is just to love everyone without judgement. Thanks.

We found someone to rent to us despite our lack of Rental history. Our landlady did not require 3x's the rent. Life has been lonely here without our family and friends. We have made friends and most of our family will be moving out to this side of the country in the next few months. I wish I could have been one of the lucky people who live in the same town their whole life. We had to relocate to find a home. When we first came out here we found a place which sounded nice and got on a Greyhound bus. We stayed at a Homeless Shelter and then we stayed we a family we met for 5 months to get on our feet. We eventually found the place we are in now several months later. We are in another town close to the town we were in last year. We are renting a 2 bedroom House for $600.00 we would not have been so blessed in CA or OR.

Many blessings to you on this hard journey ♡ I understand what you are going through, what you have lost just to survive. Soon you will have more family around and will feel more settled, but it hurts to lose home, and hope, for a while. To a brighter future!

[@kathleenoverton3263]

Think how different this story would be if it said Homeless living under freeway. Area was immaculate. Not only were they conscientious to show their appreciation of this usable space by keeping it clean, they also showed that by keeping the outside vicinity free and clear of litter. Every time I hear these stories there are piles of garbage involved. This one took 6 hours and a bull dozer. If you have the incentive to get the garbage there - make sure you take it back out and properly dispose of it.

If your homeless and eat on the go, who trash can do you use?

[@DiMotherShip]

Tf... They homeless.... U doin too much

[@donaldreid8751]

I'm surprised the rats didn't eat there nasty ass up .Maybe if they were cleaning the area up the police would not have bother them .They better look out for Coyote's .

[@harryhood83]

Homeless means you can’t pick up after yourself??

[@diwi5823]

These comments saying they’re homeless and “who trash can” they would use.. listen if they can haul in artwork to hang up on the wall they can haul a damn trash can in. Homeless does not mean be trifling

[@revan2100]

Its a damn shame people have to resort to this, housing should be a human need everyone should have a safe warm dry place to sleep and feel safe.

[@honcore5055]

That sounds like a good idea until you realize people like this exist and will just trash and leave the place a mess

[@ReekoLove0608]

When your homeless you get real creative, trust me I know all about it , I'm sad they lost their little apt tho

[@msyemisi7930]

Im Just trying to understand how do you evict somebody that's already homeless🤔 did you see that note they left in there huh

[@sexygirlmax2019]

"They're still cleaning it up" After kicking out the residents, who were bothering absolutely NO ONE, and telling them to get out without their belongings.

[@Swahiliangift70x7]

Shame on you Sam Shane! They did not "build an apartment" in the Freeway, The occupants found a crawl space, and used the crawl space as a home. The people who did this turned what was a bad situation into a livable situation.

[@tawnhor]

Let him live there

Probably, if they weren't freaking pigs he probably wouldn't care..

@@spacetimeworm Please go back to your fucking safe space. This is the reality of the homeless situation in downtown L.A. It’s full of trash, shit and needles all over the place Just like San Francisco. You don’t have to put up with this bullshit like the residents and business owners do.

[@white_devil73]

They have enough ingenuity and ambition to build a shelter like this but won't lift a finger to work. Makes perfect sense.

[@mikejohn0088]

These poor people found a space to make home and than lived as hoarders. They could not even dispose of their trash, they just lived with it. This really brings home the simple fact that the majority of the homeless are not of sound mind. Could you imagine living under that traffic noise? That alone would drive anyone crazy.
