We went by the garage a friend is renting. He pointed out the garage where a guy lives. There was a mini Subaru truck parked at the open garage door. It was hot outside at 88°F yet the garage door was open, presumably for daylight. Hopefully he has a heater for winter. I didn’t look into the garage to get a good look at his setup. It seemed too rude to peer in out of curiosity. It just hurts me to know that a man is living out of a garage because that’s the best he can manage. #housing
