Day 128

Inner-city homesteading

May 6th, 2012



Inner City Press was founded in 1987 to provide advice and assistance to those looking to move into and fix up abandoned buildings in the Bronx and Harlem, of which there were many at the time. Sadly, the annals of urban squatting are filled with tales of heartbreak (along with the occasional triumph), wherein people on the bottom rung of society work tirelessly to clean up and rehabilitate a rotting building, only to later be thrown out by the authorities.

    Matt, this is absolutely beautiful work that you’re doing. I love it. I just discovered your site and can’t wait to peruse the first 127 days of your journey. I assume this will be answered in earlier posts, or the details section of this site, but where have you been sleeping? Do you return home each night? So many questions. I’ll keep an eye for that donation button to appear again on your site. Don’t stop and ALWAYS…stay hungry!
