I have very little sympathy for anyone in this story.
There are so many things that could solve this guy's problems.
1. He could buy a bike.
2. He could move closer to work.
3. He could buy a crappy car.
4. He could move to just about any city other than Detroit. I guarantee he could find a labor-based job making $8-10 an hour that wouldn't require him to walk 20 miles every day, if he was just willing to move.
The fact of the matter is that this guy has been deliberately choosing to live this way for more than ten years straight, even though he has numerous ways of getting out of his situation.
On top of that, the guy is apparently "picky" about who he will ride with, refusing help from co-workers who would otherwise give him rides, because he likes to be "independent".
The whole story is mind-boggling, sure, but if there's one thing I know, it's that this guy doesn't need our pity or our donations.
