The trailer arrived about a week ago. The awnings went up, an extension cord was run. William Gibson wrote a book called Virtual Light where people lived in cardboard shacks on the Golden Gate Bridge. It was an adhoc community filling in the limited voids of the urban environment. There are any number of motorhomes scattered across the city of Vancouver, a whole society of transient residents, only not so transient because their mobile homes and RVs are semi-permanently parked in the industrial park cracks of this city. I like this. It's a really great "fuck you" to the overpriced real estate and excessively valued rental market in this city. $1300/month for a 1 bedroom above grade? If you're lucky? Absurd. I love the artwork for the cover of this book. The trailer in the photo is just the beginning of that. Awesome.
