apparently the NYC section 8 waitlist was closed for like 15 years and I check their website and it's still closed. I think I was still able to apply because I am already homeless and I am a disabled veteran.
I would never have attempted this back in chicago I would've been stabbed and raped by degenerates, fuck chicago just fuck that city. not everyone is bad there but there are enough tension and bottom of the barrel behavior from every group of people you can imagine. When I moved to NYC people here were so chill and nice in comparison like they didn't collectively have a chip on their shoulder like chicago did.
I am glad to be on this route, if I actually get a voucher anytime soon, life would be so much easier. It would almost be like I am retired. But then I don't have friends or family to rely on or move in with, my family and relatives were literally talking about my death and demanded me to put them on my will and I overheard them talking about what they want to do with my money when I die (though I am younger than all of them and won't be dying anytime soon unless something happens to me). They realized I had some savings few years ago and got mad I wasn't sharing with them (though they never helped me when I needed help but my military buddies did), and my family members tried to get me arrested over accusations of drug dealing (the cops just ignored their calls). I set up a trust fund years ago to designate any savings I have leftover and anything I accumulate so they don't get my shit.
If I had normal parents and got along with them I would 100% stay with them, but then if I had normal parents who actually got medical care for me and didn't practice sleep deprivation and physical violence on me, I may not even be an incel honestly.
It was kind of winter time when I was living in my car for month and a half in illinois, I was in a sedan and I survived by staying wrapped in a fur blanket but I think a thermal sleeping bag can do a similar job, and I had a cheap black velvet fleece blanket thrown over all the car seats so it makes a little tent for extra layer of keeping the heat and moisture in close to you so you're not breathing freezing dry air all night (that will make you sick and I was sick for like a week, it was fucking miserable I regretted my life). It was also good for discretion so no one can peek inside the car and actually see anything. When I woke up in the morning there would be crystallized frost all over my car and windows and it was surreal. I would also fall asleep to the heavy rain hitting the metal roof of the car when it rained. It reminded me of how truly vulnerable we are without the protection of technology that we have.
