UPDATE: I am in the process of writing 2 books. Currently in very rough drafts. What is written so far freely available.
After being unable to pay October 2023’s rent, and subsequent notices and an eviction letter, I’m in the process of transitioning to being unhoused. With a small safety net in place, the plan is to relocate to Los Angeles and utilize the Metro system to avoid fully living on the streets.
Goals While Unhoused
While unhoused, the goal is to continue looking for gainful employment. I’ve submitted hundreds of applications while still housed, even before the eviction notice, and have not had a single interview. Even with 25 years of experience working with web design clients across the planet, not having a Bachelor’s Degree has made it difficult. Yet Web Design jobs are not the only ones I’ve applied for. I’ve applied for retail work and even stocking shelves, unloading trucks. No one seems to be interested in hiring someone wanting to work.
In addition to submitting applications, I will be traveling around the Greater Los Angeles area via Metro to destinations for taking photos. These photos will be edited and uploaded here for sale. Several other ideas are being considered, along with providing support links for anyone wish to provide me with any assistance.
Why Los Angeles
Besides the fact I grew up in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, a Metropolitan area like Los Angeles allows me the ability to travel around. This is vital as I don’t want to be what is traditionally thought of as unhoused. I’ve done the whole live in the tent thing before and I’d like to attempt something different. Los Angeles is nearby to where I’ve lived for the past 10 years and I will have the ability to take amazing photos to sell.
