I have scoured the internet to find a solution to my problem. But all I have discovered is scammers and prices so high I can't even almost afford.
The obvious solution is what is all over the internet ~ tiny homes. You can buy a tiny home for $50,000. Thats money I have. So I did a deep dive into tiny home life. And what I discovered is, it's all a scam. There is no place to put a tiny home. The by-laws and zoning is so strict you can't put a tiny home. And believe me, I have been on the internet getting in touch with real estate agents in both BC and Ontario but they all say the same thing. You pretty much need to live off-grid as noone will allow for hookups to water, sewage or electricity. The by-laws just won't permit it. Ditto for RV living. You can buy your own property - but the 'highers that be" wont allow you to put what you want on it. There are millions of people on facebook selling tiny homes. But not one can tell you where to put them. it's all a scam by the "tiny Home Sellers" trying to make a buck. So tiny homes are out.
A traditional apartment is out. WAY too expenisive for my $1600 a month budget. Which is why I have been investigating alternative housing. But no matter what I research, there is always a catch why I cant.
Renting an apartment: My monthly income is too low to even get an application to fill out
Tiny house: no land allows on-grid living
RV: I can't find a permanent place to put it. Infact, I can't even get into a trailer park!!! Noone will accept my application.
I can't even get accepted into a trailer park!
So then I looked at tiny mobile homes in my price range. But,... (and there always seems to be a but,...) One,... I dont even have a car to get to view these places. The one I like is way up north on Georgian Bay. How the hell am I going to get their with no car??? All I can afford is way, way up north which does not have buses or trains there. They are in the middle of nowhere and you would absolutely need a vehicle to survive. I cant afford a vehicle.
There is no worse feeling in the world than knowing you are 100% completely on your own and have to find a home. I have no help with all the physical aspects. The packing,... the moving,... I have always had to do it myself. And this time,... I am not well enough. And I dont even have a car to physically move!!! If I can't walk there,... I can't get there,... transportation has been my downfall for 5 years. With no car ~ you just can't go.
So what is the answer? What does a 62 year old disabled lady do to find a home?
How loud do I have to shout?
How long do I have to suffer?
Before someone sees me and helps me find a home?
How long before I just cant do it anymore and give up?
July 1st,.... if I dont have a place to move on July 1st I go down to Vancouvers downtown eastside and I do my own 'Maids". A fatal OD. To be found by a stranger in a dirty alley,... but at least I will have finally ended my suffering,...
What kind of world do we live in when a 62 yr old is priced right out of living???
A fucked up world I no longer want to be a part of! THATS what kind of world we live in.
A fucked up one!
And I'm done suffering
There just doesn't seem to
be a place for me
anywhere on this
planet
