"Look, a cave!" 
Started: No Place Like Home
» Clear the homeless camp.
Homeless people in California were found living in dangerously constructed riverside caves — outfitting the trash-filled dwellings with furniture and other supplies before they were cleared out by police and volunteers over the weekend.
The 20-foot-deep underground digs were tucked along the Tuolumne River in Modesto, accessible by makeshift stairs carved into the hillside.
During a sweep of the living quarters, 7,600 pounds of trash — filling up two trucks and a trailer — was removed, police said.
"I am sworn to carry your burdens..."
Photos from inside one of the caves obtained by CBS 13 show a table, crates filled with supplies, and even a couple of shelves with food and condiments. Another has a chair and other belongings in bins.
Tracy Rojas, who lives near the subterranean encampment, told CBS 13 that if the caves were to collapse, it would be “devastating.”
She said some of the caves appeared to be fully furnished with bedding as well as drugs and other contraband.
“You can see the hooks on the wall where they had bottles and stuff hanging down,” Rojas said. “I think there needs to be more emphasis on the homeless. They are at the point where you can see they are desperate.”
Guptill said they cleared out eight caves during the cleanup — but he presumes the residents will return, as he has moved them out before.
Police said they're continuing to work with local services to get the homeless people out of the caves and into proper housing.

This is the future of our country. They tell people rent costs $2000 a month and houses cost $500k+ and they better start saving their pennies. Then if they try to save money by living in their car or literally in a fricking cave nobody gives a shit about, they harass them and maybe even throw all their shit into an incinerator just because. Sometimes I wonder if our government is reading rdrama and they see posts about this like "why don't you try just having money lol"
and they're like wait hold up.... maybe these guys are on to something.

Yeah I'm waiting for rdrama's contrarian posturing to come around to admitting that housing got expensive really fast. I had a really good down payment saved but prices quadrupled and my area is rural and LCOL. Dunno how citycels survive.

Real estate is more expensive but we make way more money and cost of goods is relatively lower.
The gigachad move is to work a city job remotely then move to a ruralcuck area to be king shit of frick mountain and vote wrong.
