Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna from Hatfield, Pennsylvania, have stirred controversy by choosing a tent lifestyle over traditional work. Sharing their views with 178,000 TikTok followers, they argue, “Homelessness isn’t wrong if you’re looking at it from our perspective.”
They prefer “houselessness” to “homelessness,” calling it a “flex” and highlighting their survival skills honed in unconventional living conditions. Responses vary, with some supporting their autonomy and others skeptical of their choices.
