Reply #86: I guess that makes me a early 50's homeless child

[blues90]

Because when I was born as well as my older sister and younger sister we lived in a trailer in a trailer park , a long trailer that was pulled by my fathers car and I was 8 before we had a actual rented house.

So I guess this also makes me poor white trailer trash even though I had both a mother and father and two sisters and a brother who was the only one who was not trailer trash.

I never seemed to notice that trailer life was any different that life in a house other than it did not have wheels.

Mt father was a carpenter who built homes on his own so I guess this made us more mobile because we lived in a few trailer parks in IL and FL.

Also I renter a single wide mobile home in FL for a while in a mobile home park , no one there seemed to consider themselves homeless and I worked with a fellow who movered from Denver to IL and he bought a trailer in a trailer park as a home because it was cheap living and had heat and a stove and even a bathroom.

I think it's a crime and a huge mistake to judge or classify people by what they live in.

Homeless is one who has no place to live with a roof that is his or her own, rented or owned or shared.

I think the way of the future will be more people sharing a roof or moving with the parents or relatives or friends or grandparents or even a commune. Even a motor home is a home , hell my 69 ford van was mine for well over a year back in 1980 even had a toilet and sink and bed in it.

Screw the people who judge others based on what they define as their version of a home.
