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

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

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.

I’m not doubting there are abandoned buildings in cities. I’m doubting any city within the US with the exception of the southwest is more than a few miles from a forest.

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
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 months 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

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.
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I promose you those places also have laws against camping on private property in an abandoned building.
Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yes, but not as many people go to abandoned buildings so you’re less likely to be seen by others and reported.

I’d be way more concerned about running into someone in a 'bando than out in the woods though.
Hiker in the woods is going to go the other way. A homebum in a bando? Who knows how they’ll react.
