Evicted From a Box Truck! Homeless Man Loses Everything

[@AtomikFajita]

A man who bothers no one. A man who's trying to survive everyday. Gets kicked out 3 times and has his home destroyed twice. Still he keeps a smile on his face and moves forward. A wise man once told me. *I feel poor because I can't afford a pair of shoes. Then I seen a man with no legs and i felt rich.*

[@darlenejoyce4467]

I have known Joe my whole life he never asks anyone for one dollar. He grew up with a very difficult life and still manages to try anyway to make it. I love him and he bothers no one. And asked not one person for one dollar he is a great guy. To know him is to love him. Prayers for Joe. Hope and prayers for Joe.♥️🙏🏻

[@debrapaulino918]

​@@TwinSister1957unfortunately there can be ordinances against it. There are where I am. An RV has 72 hrs then you have to request extension and limit is ten days. Then if I remember right it can go to 30 and that's it. With the recent influxes ... it may be helpful. Unless a higher Dept over rules local ordinance it's unlikely locals would ever comply but even then doubtful.

[@debrapaulino918]

​@@TwinSister1957thinking by Village council is disposal of waste. In my case my bathroom was to be available 24/7. A locked door separating my residence would provide security and privacy for both. But that's too 🤔 simple. It's beyond waste disposal issue. Village doesn't want home owners starting a camp. Reality of things these days is economics. A quiet individual with a job living in an RV needs a safe place to live out of it. But an RV on your property means Village doesn't get taxes from that individual. I could see the Village raising your property tax if it ever came to them allowing it. We are facing increasingly difficult times and everyone cannot be on welfare for god sake.

If he is willing to put that much time and hard work getting cans, and fixing his space that cute, maybe? he would cut your grass using your mower. He is an odd jobs kind of soul. Why are your locals not engaging him this way? Do you think fear? Unless he has been unreliable in past? These individuals are complicated so I mean no disrespect to you or locals.

Authorities turns a blind eye to these poor people as if they don't exist. There needs to be options for them. There's plenty of land that people could use and plenty of abandoned homes that could be made habitable for them. Some heartless people seem to see them as a target instead of helping them or at least offering a kind word. If I had land, I would happily let Joe stay on it. I've always helped out where I can. Thank you Eric for bringing these people to everyone's attention.

[@vapete1237]

Kinda sad that a guy keeping himself to himself and doing his own thing is kicked off a plot of land that he maintained to a decent level of tidiness, which otherwise stands empty and unused. If only the land owner could see it from a homeless/squatters point and maybe consider taking a small negligible amount of rent. We have thousands of homeless here in the UK, people sleeping in shop doorways, in tents and other obscure locations, each with their own story. Its kinda sad that most of them have mental health, Alcohol and Substance misuse, but a serious lack of social housing is at the core of all the issues .. I do hope that Joe manages to find somewhere safe and warm before Winter starts to bite.

Joe is a modest man who society has let down. He's a man who tried his best, despite the best efforts still ended up down of his luck. He doesn't seem be an addict or hurting anyone. I feel as tho he's just going hard times thru the old age. He's worked before but, the housing market has priced this man out even if he wanted a house. At his age he probably can't work anymore either. I hope there's someone cool enough to let him off their land and maybe in return he could possibly help improve it or maybe watch it.

Once someone becomes “homeless” it is very hard for them to get out of that situation. Most employers don’t want to hire homeless people - they have no way to shower and clean themselves for interviews, they have no address for proper paperwork, or bank accounts. Then if they are able to be hired, and are able to get to and from work as Joe mentioned how much are they making? After taxes are taken out is there enough left over for rent, food, utilities, etc? There are a lot of people with jobs struggling right now, and it will only take one car mechanic bill or some other unexpected expense for them to miss a rent payment and be evicted… which pretty much guarantees no one will rent to them again. Then, once they’re homeless, they risk losing their job, and then have the hardship of trying to get hired while homeless

@@Adub86 And some are unlucky due to fate. It happens. Not everyone just magically gets housed because they worked. There's plenty of working homeless out there. Now yes some could get lucky and make it out however its sheer luck at that point with a combination of "there's a will, there is a way". While yes its true you should put you all into something and try as hard as you can, however at the end of the day fate still decides in the end how lucky you'll be. You can pray and hope god will save you all day and work 3 jobs however luck is luck.
