15-6-1

In William Gibson's 1993 novel Virtual Light the Bay Bridge becomes a place where parasitic structures are built to house squatters. The bridge into Astoria is reminiscent of that. It's merely under renovation, but I can imagine funds running out, a company folding, and people inhabiting the remnants of a temporary structure, Working in Vancouver's DTES has shown time and time again how the temporary can become (semi)permanent.
