It's not about someone's freedom it's about necessity. Let's face it, the world is not getting richer for the average person. Globalization is affecting everyone. I'm not saying globalization is bad but things are changing.
The U.S. currently has 40 million people living below the poverty line. Of those, how many are disabled, addicted to drugs, suffer from mental illness? They have to live somewhere. They buy a dilapidated rv for less than $1000 and call it home. In many cases, that's the best they can do.
I have a brother on disability (mental illness) and he worked all of his life. He gets 1300 a month before paying for Medicare/caid. We have to help him out with some of his yearly expense. The COLA doesn't keep up with rent increases, insurance premiums, etc.
Then imagine someone who is disabled, not allowed to work by law, has little or no family that can support themselves much less another person.
Some blame the government others blame big business. It's a little of both and our greed as well. How many of us are invested, via mutual funds, in companies that pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, hire only part-time, and pay no benefits? Where do these people go?
Even in larger Mexican cities, we are now seeing HOAs. Many new housing developments are gated and the rules are strict, each community with its own set of rules.
All I see nowadays on the internet is cheap camping, BLM, no fees, stealth camping. I don't think it is only a group of bohemians. It's out of necessity. We aren't living in the big boom of the 40s and 50s anymore.
