I'm chilling in the parking lot of the gym right now and it's very apparent that there is a couple next to me living in their car. At first I thought they were just getting it on - she brushed her teeth and they both leaned their seats back. But I, being the confused creeper I am, looked through my car window again only to realize they're sleeping. Then it hit me.

They're living in their fucking car in a gym parking lot.

I don't know why I'm hit so hard by this, I'm sure you all see it often, but fuck. It makes me sad.

No one chooses to be homeless. You don't sleep in your car outside a gym by choice. Having a cheap gym membership is a common survival tactic for people in that position. Gives them access to showers and bathrooms. These are not the "retire to a camp ground with my RV" types.

The reality is, our society chooses to allow that level of poverty to be maintained.
