Is a cheaper room with no visitors allowed worth it?

All the different ways of solving the shelter problem. To be static or mobile? Roots, legs, or wheels?

Can't I simply find a work man's van? And then throw a mattress, heavy sleeping bag, battery converter, cooler, shelving, clothing rack, showering tub, small porta-potty, and call it good 'nough for now?

Sure but then winter will hit. Winter on the west coast is doable without a proper build, but not 100% pleasant some mornings.. I imagine it is less doable in harsher winter conditions.

Also, I would skip the battery converter, cooler, shelving, showering tub, and maybe even the small porta-potty if you are just looking for "good 'nough for now."

@Olaz

Everything basically. Westchester is where rich white people from NYC go to have kids, many of them have high paying jobs in Manhattan and commute to work.

As long as you avoid wholefoods and restaurants, and bike/walk for transportation it should be okay.
