  • I've written here about my dreams and fantasies of finding a place to live. Well, here's the story of a guy with Environmental Illness, which is basically an allergy to everything modern. It's a 'blog called Shelter, and it's his quest to find a place to live.

  • Mary Swander solved that problem by moving to a rural Amish community and wrote a good book about it.

  • Interesting blog (Shelter). We'd like to find more healthy, sustainable, environmental (whatever you want to call it) shelter ourselves. Lucky (or unlucky -- not to say that that guy is "lucky") for us, we have no physical allergies to our current home, but sometimes I wish some catastrophe would motivate us to get out and find a place where we really want to live.

    Thanks for subscribing. I've always enjoyed your thoughts here.

  • The twin issues he describes: finding a solution, and trying to do it from SSI (these are the poor people Republicans always claim are sitting back eating bon-bons and refusing to work) which gives a person $564 a month and doesn't allow them to save for anything, are a devastating one-two punch. I have clients in the same situation. The old airstream cleaned in just the right way might be the only possible choice, though they sure don't stay warm in a place like Michigan.
