You never know who may park next to you at WalMart
This is sort of an interesting story about a guy in a 1978 Volkswagen camper staying at a WalMart in Dunedin, FL. Van Man

Paint it anyway you want the guy's an idiot. Walmart parking lots are NOT for people to LIVE in them period.
Add to the fact that he supposedly HAS money to stay in an appropriate place just adds to the fact he's got problems. Don't care what he does for a living I wouldn't want him living in a parking lot near me.
Just saying, tired of people giving high fives to people living in a parking lot. You want to go off the grid? There's thousands of acres in the mountains and/or remote rural areas for doing that. Not in a public parking lot.:R
Exactly. The guy is living the life of a homeless person and is doing so by choice. Just like many others. Hopefully the manager of that Walmart who has been so nice to let him stay there, will see this news story and go kick his rear out of the parking lot.
Try to keep up and read all of the posts. This was last year. Since then he has traveled all over in his CLASS B camper to the West Coast and back. He had surgery for thyroid cancer and he is doing fine. He was picked up by the Detroit Tigers and is now in Spring training in Lakeland, FL. He still has the van and could care less what you or others think of him. He is part of the 40 man Tigers roster and has pitched in, and won, two games so far.
You never read the original article completely and if you did you never understood what was going on in his mind. His choice is to live isolated because on the pitcher's mound he is alone. He is not living the life of a homeless person. He is living a very structured life that you will never understand. You have chosen to "profile" him without having the slightest idea of what he is doing and how it enhances his career. Some people obviously get it, and you are not one of them.
He was staying exactly where the POLICE instructed him to stay and the Walmart manager had no problem with it.
You really should get over your GOD complex and just accept that some people like their personal freedoms that we have in the USA and will never conform to your idea of the way people should live and behave.
