When I saw a couple on 90 Day U.K. use the great outdoors as their bathroom, I said nothing. They were living in a camper after all. But watching an L.A. resident suggest that indoor facilities were somehow “fancy”, I have to say something. It appears he’s living in a garage. No problem there. I knew a woman who lived in a garage with her two children. They were snug and happy enough and you know what they had? Indoor plumbing. As a child, I visited people “living off the land” who had outhouses as well as holes in the ground and a courtesy shovel. I’ve seen things.

But L.A. is a major city, and I feel very confident in stating it may even have housing laws about indoor toilets. Shared bathrooms was the main source of communicable disease in tenements in the late 19th and early 20th century. It’s not cool. No matter how lovely it is to walk through a file cabinet(!) strewn courtyard.
