  I would just worry of asbestos or heavy metal contamination in the buildings, especially if I’m sleeping on or near the floor

    Are you worried about this sort of thing in general? I would argue that these things are pretty esoteric concerns.

    All the good caves are taken.

  who the fuck can afford those things?

  Anybody? Where do you live that hanging out in the forest costs money?

    Transportation to and from the forest isn’t free.

    Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.

      I promose you those places also have laws against camping on private property in an abandoned building.

        Yes, but not as many people go to abandoned buildings so you’re less likely to be seen by others and reported.

    In the middle of a city, which doesn’t have nearby forests.

      If we’re talking about the US, that’s no city I’ve ever seen except maybe the southwest

        You’ve never seen an abandoned building in Baltimore, DC Philadelphia, Detroit, or Chicago?

        Outside of the tourist zone you can find wastelands of abandoned buildings.

    OP didn’t mean the cost of going there, they meant still paying the bills while going to the forest instead of work

      That’s still going to be a problem living in an abandoned building though. That part doesn’t change regardless of where their friend goes to meditate (unless that place is work I guess)

    Actually the larger parks near me (the only places that have enough trees to qualify as something close to a forest) do cost money (american city metro area)

    What forest? Most people live nowhere near a forest

    source

    • the_crotch@sh.itjust.works ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Most American cities have a forest within a few miles. Our largest city, for example, has 50 acres of forest right in the Bronx.

        Most people don’t live in America either
