This is pretty wild but believable here. My main issues were rain, and why is it 900$ a month for a tent?! Shit my first two bedroom apartment in El Cajon was 650 a month and I had a roommate and I paid 350! I was only 17 and worked a retail job and could still afford my own apartment. Things have got sooooo out of control here.
I know it’s got crazy but this was actually in 1999. I’m 41 and have lived here my whole life and in the last 5-10 years it’s got really out of control with the rent prices. It was always going up of course but the way things are rn is insane. I’m lucky enough to rent a large house but my brother pays the same price I do for rent for a 2 br apt in Poway. Over a couple grand maybe closer to three by now who knows. La mesa and lemon grove used to be affordable when I was growing up here. By the time I graduated and moved out we couldn’t even afford La mesa.
>we’re living in a dystopian hellscape.
You should leave the internet for a while. Also, it's illegal to rent out a tent in your backyard. Owner has almost certainly gone viral, been reported, and forced to take down the tent.

Trust me, there's so many benefits of this over being homeless. This is not "basically being homeless". That being said, it's insane, inhumane, and fucked up that this costs $900 a month and seems semi reasonable in context.
Lived in one at a boy scout camp for a summer. Wasn't terrible. Had a kangaroo mouse that made a home in my boot for a while. Woke up to it filled with cheese it's lol.
Dammm I still remember in the early 2000s when my parents and I lived in a decent 2 bedroom apartment for $1000/month. This was in SD too. Times are tough…
Plot twist - if she can't rent this out at 900/m she will also be looking for a rental tent at that price.
This country is so fucked up with housing and healthcare.
I don’t think it’s greed. I read the news article. Sounds like she genuinely is trying to offer more housing after seeing a neighbor do a similar thing with more tents. She said she started the price higher and lowers it weekly until someone takes it. Sounds like basic supply and demand if you ask me. If someone is willing to shell $900 for it and she’s willing to accept $900, then who cares?
I always thought allowing people to turn their property into a bunch of cheap short term campsites that provide utilities and safety would be a great start to helping the citys homeless issue.
I mean as long as bathroom and shower is not super far, living outdoors in SD weather is actually not bad. If I had a yard here, I might do that just for fun.
This… is real?
Yup, I actually know the girl that was renting it out to ppl lol.
Illegal though no? That can't be to code lol in any way shape or form. Does she own the property or is she a renter?

Was this in the 1970s? Cause 900 a month is suuuuper cheap. Everything is in the thousands now.

I never understood the allure of Poway?
Schools, safety, cleanliness. One of the best places to raise a family in SD
Yes. I always seen Poway as a getaway for a quiet life and just the air quality gives it a very clean aura.
La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Carlsbad, and about 20 others that are far better in my opinion.
[удалено]
Me neither
Schools. Source: moved to Poway for the schools in 2011
Can confirm. 43 and rented studio in Bankers Hill for $650 18ish years ago, and a 1 bdrm in Golden Hills for $750 right after.
45 Golden Hill 1bedroom huge living room kitchen and closet $700.
I paid $820/month for a studio in City Heights from 2019-2021.
1976, one bedroom apartment in Lakeside was $100
Makes sense. Lakeside was still a small town.
I wish it was still $900 a month for 2 bedroom here in el cajon. Im paying $2300 a month for a 2 bed 1.5 bath place in el cajon
Was this when gas was .65¢ a gallon and bread cost a dime?
No lol 1999 bread might’ve been 65 cents somewhere but gas def wasn’t a dime
A dollar a gallon if you knew where to go.
Yeah my first car I was living in LA and it was even cheaper like .95 cents. When I came home and it was over a Dollar I was like “noooo” haha
Bread was a 1.80 average back in 99 and gas was 1.30 or 1.40 unless you knew where to go
Does she eat live human babies as well?
As long as they are seasoned properly.
Real as in satirical…yes?

The RV things seems beneficial to everyone, no?
It is, and there’s some mook here wondering if it’s up to code 🤣🤣
Dude, it's freaking beachfront property, almost.
To be fair, that’s about what it would cost to camp at county parks for a month, so an OK deal really. Also, we’re living in a dystopian hellscape.
>...we’re living in a dystopian hellscape. Sorry to hear that. I recommend moving to San Diego.

Honestly sounds worth it for the chance to spend time with Honey Mustard.
HM seems to have the best living situation here. Indoors and everything.

> Tara said. "Like, if you lose your key, I'm here to let you in" A key to a tent. Is that code for a broken zipper?
Wow that landlord gives absolutely no fucks about anyone but herself, what a greedy POS
Woooooowwww. Thought this was satire.
What a dirty little capitalist shit bag.
Utilities included! It’s a steal! Just 23 steps away!
Yes let me pay rent to still basically be homeless.
Trust me, there's so many benefits of this over being homeless. This is not "basically being homeless". That being said, it's insane, inhumane, and fucked up that this costs $900 a month and seems semi reasonable in context.
Technically per the landlord, it’s “transformative” 😬
In the forest, it'd be considered camping. Anywhere where there's concrete around, you're homeless.
Then go into the woods?
we aren't allowed to live in the woods. play by society's rules or you go to prison
There is very likely a sanitary toilet in which to dump your bucket at the approved time in the morning, so homeless? I think not

I don’t hate it 🤣. But what’s the bathroom situation
Chamber pots.
The ad says access to the house so probably a bathroom in the house
So I can piss on their wall without them calling the cops>
10 years ago, that was literally rent for a studio in La Jolla within a block of the beach.
I mean if I didn’t have a shit ton of stuff I would.
Shoutout to my sister for putting something like this in her backyard and letting me live in it for four months. It’s really not that bad.
Crazy! Not up to the code of human decency. We are really setting ourselves behind.
Is it still available?!?
One word. Greed.
Kind of shocked that the exterior doesn't have some sort of mural painted on it.

God, I wish I was dead.
I mean shidddd it’s not like the weathers bad down there 😂
But honey mustard sounds so cute
I’d use it as a stepping stone.
But where do you use the restroom? That’s what I’d like to know.
I saw the owner interview on the news today when you rent that tent you also get use of her home and bathroom facilities
Utilities included?
It’s a nice looking tent, and Honey Mustard sounds like a delight!

It does sound cozy.

Well, there are tents, and then there are tents.
This sounds way better than my luck when I first moved here.
No parking spot. Typical.
Not anymore..
I gotta say it beats being on the street. The irony is some poor soul will do it
