'Car sleepers' the new US homeless!

I've never had the experience of living for an extended period of time in a car. One night only was spent in our car when waiting for our home to be built, and our temporary shed accommodation was invaded by rats. I should imagine though that when circumstances dictate that living in a car as being the only option, you would pretty quickly come to realise what was absolutely essential to survive and what was mere luxury. Sure, we'd miss a lot of things that we've taken for granted but that aren't really of benefit to us.
