ITS possible, simple legal and free!
I rented for years, and detested the situation in the UK and the blatent expliotation for renters. Housing stock being a finite resource and housing being a basic human need.
Its simple, live in a motorhome. I do. I am not a gypsy. I work 55 hours a week in decent job and have no criminal record. I move location now and again to various laybys and quite spots in commutable distance to my work. The camper cost me £10k which I painstakingly saved whiles renting a room in a B&B (£75per week). good insulation and an Eberspacher heater ensure cosy winter nights.
My living costs are next to nothing! NOW THATS MONEY SAVING!!!
If we all did this, through "supply & demand" we could force the rental prices down. spread the word!
