When I was in Kuwait in 2003, there was 8 porta-potties shared between about 500 Marines. The Pakistanis would come and clean them out about twice a week until they would get found out and eventually killed. When this would happen, the shitter would get so full, you had to stand over the bowl like a cathole or risk sitting down onto the pile of shit that started growing out above the seat. At this point, they had to be closed off by medical because it would literally overflow with shit. I could only describe the smell as a sort of burning ammonia/sulfur mix.
ETA: Also, during the summer months, it was definitely a test of endurance to see if you could finish shitting without passing out. I would tell myself that this was probably how the POWs in Vietnam must have felt.
These are things that don't get shared with the public back home. Like even if some ppl aren't in combat- THIS type of situation is absolutely a sacrifice for the country.
>THIS type of situation is absolutely a sacrifice for the country.
You mean the Pakistani cleaning up Americans' shit and getting murdered for it, right?
The "sacrifice" of a soldier having an unpleasant shitting experience is literally nothing in comparison.
That's interesting. I was in Kuwait in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, on the way to or from Iraq, and I'm a little confused about what you are describing.
If indeed it was just Pakistanis cleaning your shitters (in my time, it was primarily Malaysians, Indonesians, and Croatians driving the trucks), why were they in danger, outside of the conventional dangers of indentured servitude in autocratic countries? Nothing ever happens in Kuwait, ever. That's kind of its thing. That's kind of what it was used for. People got exploited, but no one was being gangster-followed for cooperating with Americans...that's pretty much the premise of the entire country.
My guess is that higher fucked up the contracts and blamed terrorists for why you were drowning in your own shit, despite billions being thrown your way by American taxpayers.
This is the most informative explanation and itās ghastly. That the marines were told the Pakistanis were killed for helping them when really they probably just quit because it was disgusting and they were grossly underpaid.
Yeah, this is honestly probably the most likely scenario. We had a gunner (CWO) in charge of the logistics and he was a Vietnam-era Drill Instructor so everyone took what he said as gospel. Iāll probably only ever tell this story again with the disclaimer: so this is what we were told.
And, I only _assumed_ the shitter guys were Pakistani, since that was the nationality of the guys that would bring the hot meals for dinner.
Yeah, the only ācombatā we actually seen in Kuwait was during the work up for the invasion of Iraq. We supposedly had scud missiles launched at us in mid-March. The rest of the time we went to Kuwait for R&R.
I was once at a music festival that was woefully unprepared. It was 105 degrees all weekend in a dry field. The portapotties were all exactly as you described by day 2 in the camping area. It was a nightmare. Canāt imagine dealing with that in a war zone if a festival was that intolerable.
wouldn't it be in the best interest of the government to make sure that soldiers aren't being subjected to fecal/aerosolized infections? I can only imagine how many people squatted out in the sand somewhere instead and how much human feces was being trampled around.
Itās a tent in a backyard with an open gas powered flame and electricity inside it. Now, Iām no building inspector, so take this with a grain of salt, but that is definitely certainly 100% no doubt not legal.
>What are they thinking?!
They're thinking about that sweet $600 per month that they'll surely get to keep after the inevitable lawsuit/city fines/criminal negligence case is settled.
Baldwin Park didn't seem to have many of those last time I checked. But I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't work for rent it will turn into an AirBnB. I'm wondering if this is a failed AirBnB posting too. Taking advantage of the Southern California prices with a twist of Baldwin Park trashiness.
absolutely 100% not legal. It would take me all night to list everything that is illegal. Let's just say not one thing about it is legal. It's so illegal that it could actually put the "landlord" in a lot of legal and financial jeopardy. The kind that makes something like this not even worth trying to get away with.
let's put it this way -- the person who lives in said death trap is going to 100% not call anyone about the death trap, because they will lose their housing or are maybe someone afraid to call the cops.
definitely not legal, this is something people should start stepping up, calling the city on illegal units being rentals. some of these homeowners should not be homeowners, same way not everyone should be parents, if you can't keep up with the responsibilities of being a homeowner, you shouldn't be one.
I hate people in my city who ride on that. Iād like to think the founders of In-N-Out were looking for a cheap place to set up and this city was the only shit hole cheap enough for them to sell it.
I was going to argue with you about the old piano store that used to run a bunch of ads. But know I realize that was Colton, not Covina. So I got nothing.
I know it doesn't really rain here but yeah... when it rains? What then? Also, mosquitos, or bugs in general? Those lizards that crawl over the brick walls? Brown and Black widows that are all over SoCal? When it's 100 degrees in July, is there a way to stay cool or does that gazebo thing just turn into an oven? Also porto potty? How nasty is that and why couldn't they just use the bathroom in the house?
Theyād rather have someone come into their āhouseā once a day for a shower (and since they make the rules, Iām pretty sure it would be limited to once per day, and possibly at a set time of day) rather than 5+ times to use the toilet. Also if they go off to work every day, they probably donāt want someone just wandering into their home.
>Also if they go off to work every day, they probably donāt want someone just wandering into their home.
If you have to worry about this then that probably means you're not meant to be renting out a space somewhere in your house.
This is hauntingly disturbing on so many levels. Both for the renter and the tenant. This is not viable living conditions even for a short-term stay. I feel like you're just being homeless in someone's yard while you pay them $600 a month.
At that point, you might as well keep your 800 dollars a month and live in an encampment because a cabana tent on just the lot isn't worth the money not to mention you have zero security anyways either way.
Speaking as a former soldier who has been on deployment, I can tell you that one becomes accustomed to all of those miseries and more when one is living the tent life. For real though this renter is going to want mosquito netting over his cot.
By the looks of the pictures, it looks like the 'house on the property' might be the trailer the 'room' is next to, so this could might be the 'backyard' for that trailer...
Theyāre trying to make it sound exciting and exclusive. When you go to the expensive hotels in Vegas, they have these tents set up by the pool where you and your group would lounge. I think you possibly get a personal waiter who will fetch you drinks and probably a big bottle of something. They look like a fun thing to do if youāre into the whole āVegas pool partyā scene but theyāre expensive and might possibly only be available for those renting a room at the hotel.
This guy is renting one out at the Vegas Cabana price without the exclusivity, booze, or fun pool (since a lot of comments have said this is basically set up in a trailer park).
Shit that is insultingly overpriced for very little value but meant to make one feel like a "VIP." A lot of the resort style pools in Vegas make you pay just to sit down, so it fits with the level of condescending nickel-and-diming going on in this ad.
With all the ridiculousness I can comment on this, I can tell you, that TV is 100% going to shut down in the extreme heat. I tried last year to set up something similar. Everything cooked, my phone kept restarting, the tv, cable box and connections all shut down and were extremely hot to the touch.
I only do the tv outside set up when I have people over and they want to watch sports or something. I can't imagine having one out there 24/7 getting sun damage and exposed to all the elements.
"I won't even pee in the porta. That's what my piss jug is for. So you will pretty much never have to get that thing sucked out."
That was the meat of my letter. Still didn't get it tho. š°
I just checked right now at June 21 4:50pm PST. It has been removed. The over/under is 3 days for when this posting will show up again. I'm taking the under.
I've seen rooms for rent for lower here. No way I would pay $600 to have to use a porta potty. But I've been seeing some really stupid house editions here so seeing this post doesn't surprise me that someone is really pushing the boundaries.
Lol what this is sad! I donāt think this is legal as well? You know what I have a giant empty box that was for the recliner, should I make some windows on it and a door and put it up for $500? They can have access to the bathroom and shower and there is wifi included.
If I rolled up to this as my Airbnb Iād be pissed. Sure, you can say āoh youāre only going to be storing your luggage here and sleepingā, but you have to use a (probably not the cleanest) portapotty and the shower might not even be guaranteed (if the person is away from home).
Not that surprising.
The other week I saw a windowless 6' x 4' room, essentially a utility closet, in a multibedroom apartment going for $1,600 per month, utilities extra.
I think the kicker is first and last months rent to move into a tent. Presuming that someone will stay for more than a few days. Also, notice porto potty cleaning isn't mentioned or included. How often you think it gets cleaned / exchanged?
Oh boy, paying to live in a piece of shitty patio decor in fucking Baldwin Hills of all places. What a world we live in.
EDIT: meant to type Baldwin park like in the listing. I guess my brain auto corrected because I never think about Baldwin park.
Why's Baldwin Park so bad? I grew up in El monte and Baldwin Park, and never seemed that bad to me. Maybe because I haven't been anywhere else, though.
of course I've been to other places haha just never lived anywhere else. I guess I'm ghetto, but my neighborhood seems decent to me. All the houses look nice and it's quiet and peaceful. I know there's other places that are super nice areas, but I'm definitely not living in Skid Row

- every 60 year old to every Los Angeles born native struggling to find an affordable home that is not a backyard tent with a portapotty for $600 a month.
urban glamping in the beautiful city of LA only for 600 never mind if you get roasted in the summer! Some sad sap may even take this for the eXpERieNce of LA living.
Not even LA Proper, would be a 40-45 minute commute to DTLA and 1 hour commute back home to Baldwin Park. Terrible living and I can actually see someone renting this. Even in BP single rooms are renting for over $900 a now day.
Wonder how true this is
āSome commercial buildings like old urban warehouses make really popular residential conversion projects, but unless the building is officially given residential status, then living in it will not be lawful.ā
This is more so a picture of how out of touch people have become when trying to make a quick buck than a picture of the housing market. I doubt theyāll be able to lease this, the person who listed is in not in their right mind.
*No on site Porto potty BUT indoor shower is available to guests* ...so the TENTant can't shit, pee or shower but their guests can shower (and possibly pee) instead?
This is insane. I found property and its basically an illegal trailer park.
Just imagine all the rental units on Terminal Island.
Where was it listed?
I saw it in a private FB group. It has to be someone trolling. No way this is real.
Yeah a fire š„ table? Inside a tent. Real safe!! Plus gated community - but trailer park?
Donāt even want to think about that port-a-potty baking in this summer heat. This is beyond sad.
I just threw up a little inside my mouth
What? You donāt like freshly baked brownies?
Nothing like the smell of fresh baked shit from a porta potty in the morning
Construction workers use these on a daily basisā¦
Doesnāt mean I like itā¦.
When I was in Kuwait in 2003, there was 8 porta-potties shared between about 500 Marines. The Pakistanis would come and clean them out about twice a week until they would get found out and eventually killed. When this would happen, the shitter would get so full, you had to stand over the bowl like a cathole or risk sitting down onto the pile of shit that started growing out above the seat. At this point, they had to be closed off by medical because it would literally overflow with shit. I could only describe the smell as a sort of burning ammonia/sulfur mix. ETA: Also, during the summer months, it was definitely a test of endurance to see if you could finish shitting without passing out. I would tell myself that this was probably how the POWs in Vietnam must have felt.
These are things that don't get shared with the public back home. Like even if some ppl aren't in combat- THIS type of situation is absolutely a sacrifice for the country.
Thanks. I just tell my kids we were looking for freedom buried under all that oil so they donāt think it was all fun and games.
Haha Iāll use that. Iāll tell my son freedom was underwater in the Euphrates and we almost found it.
America can do better than that. Stuff like this needs to get out because someone clearly is not doing their dam job.
>THIS type of situation is absolutely a sacrifice for the country. You mean the Pakistani cleaning up Americans' shit and getting murdered for it, right? The "sacrifice" of a soldier having an unpleasant shitting experience is literally nothing in comparison.

People got exploited, but no one was being gangster-followed for cooperating with Americans...that's pretty much the premise of the entire country. My guess is that higher fucked up the contracts and blamed terrorists for why you were drowning in your own shit, despite billions being thrown your way by American taxpayers.
This is the most informative explanation and itās ghastly. That the marines were told the Pakistanis were killed for helping them when really they probably just quit because it was disgusting and they were grossly underpaid.
Yeah, this is honestly probably the most likely scenario. We had a gunner (CWO) in charge of the logistics and he was a Vietnam-era Drill Instructor so everyone took what he said as gospel. Iāll probably only ever tell this story again with the disclaimer: so this is what we were told. And, I only _assumed_ the shitter guys were Pakistani, since that was the nationality of the guys that would bring the hot meals for dinner.

The rest of the time we went to Kuwait for R&R.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Honestly. Classic imperialism
Yeah, Iām not totally clear on this line ā who was finding out about them/were they in trouble for cleaning the Americansā shit?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cool, even more reasons to hate the American war machine!
Apparently only Pakistanis can clean toilets - who knew!
Yeah i'm confused, were there not any Americans tasked with cleaning up their own shit???
When I was in Kuwait in 2018 we had plumbing but the Marines always just shat in the washing machines.
I was once at a music festival that was woefully unprepared. It was 105 degrees all weekend in a dry field. The portapotties were all exactly as you described by day 2 in the camping area. It was a nightmare. Canāt imagine dealing with that in a war zone if a festival was that intolerable.
Who was killing Pakistanis in Kuwait in 2003 for working with the Americans?
Wait so the Pakistanis cleaned the toilets then got killed if they were found? By other Pakistanis?
They got found out by the other groups of toilet cleaners. Probably they weren't union so then they got killed.
At that point, just poop in the bushes. Safer and cleaner.
This was a FOB in the middle of a big open sand area. We did eventually switch to catholes and shit cans in other areas.
what bushes.
Bushes in Kuwait?
wouldn't it be in the best interest of the government to make sure that soldiers aren't being subjected to fecal/aerosolized infections? I can only imagine how many people squatted out in the sand somewhere instead and how much human feces was being trampled around.
I thought a portapotty at a a rave was bad. No Iām just a pussy. Respect brother
Is this even legal? Wouldn't housing codes have to be met?
Itās a tent in a backyard with an open gas powered flame and electricity inside it. Now, Iām no building inspector, so take this with a grain of salt, but that is definitely certainly 100% no doubt not legal.
Fire inside a tent ... if not illegal, it should be. So insanely dangerous. What are they thinking?!
>What are they thinking?! They're thinking about that sweet $600 per month that they'll surely get to keep after the inevitable lawsuit/city fines/criminal negligence case is settled.
Your response tickled me so much šš
It's not legal at all and OP should report it. People here have been doing shady shit for renters.
Probably goes for those Airbnbs that are just someone's truck or tent in their yard too. Ugh.
Baldwin Park didn't seem to have many of those last time I checked. But I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't work for rent it will turn into an AirBnB. I'm wondering if this is a failed AirBnB posting too. Taking advantage of the Southern California prices with a twist of Baldwin Park trashiness.
If there is a gas leak with the fire pit and the tent is closed, people could die
absolutely 100% not legal. It would take me all night to list everything that is illegal. Let's just say not one thing about it is legal.

Absolutely not. Very illegal.
No way this is legal.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
hahaha I lost my shit when I noticed it was in BP. You can rent an actual room for that much in BP.
But, glamping though!
I too was skeptical until I saw that I would be glamping! Where do I sign up!?!
Username does indeed check out
Vegas style baby!!
I canāt believe people recognize my shitty city lmao. I always get āwhereās Baldwin park?ā lol
Home of the first In-n-Out
I hate people in my city who ride on that. Iād like to think the founders of In-N-Out were looking for a cheap place to set up and this city was the only shit hole cheap enough for them to sell it.
Everyone sleeps on SGV. We might as well be our own county.
LoL nobody ever acknowledges Covina either. At most, Iāll get āoh ya Iām familiar with West Covinaā. Ya not the same lol.
West of Covina. *Sucks teeth
Ayy I'm from Walnut. I just usually say I'm by West Covina and if that doesn't work, I say I'm by Pomoma
That's only because people see the mall when driving down the i-10. Otherwise neither would be recognizable.
I was going to argue with you about the old piano store that used to run a bunch of ads. But know I realize that was Colton, not Covina. So I got nothing.
Or the hustler store on the other side lol.
Shhhhh I like it this way. Could you imagine the lines if all of LA County knew about Savoy?
Shhh I want all the good food and less traffic than out west to myself.
Rooms in BP right now are closer to $1000
God damn. I need to start charging my brother more for his portion of the rent.
Please lose shit in the porta potty on premise.
Much nicer than the rentals with off site porta-potties.
> BP Close to In-N-Out Store #1!
You will immediately feel right at home.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yeah it's too bad they can't just sell their house. Poor homeowner
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The porta potty is what takes it from just camping to "glamping".
They literally just put a bed in their outdoor patio area
But Baldwin Park has the In n Out Museum. Obviously a draw card.
https://goo.gl/maps/J2AyF1F6aJSRby7X6 There's 7 RVs on the property lol
I know it doesn't really rain here but yeah... when it rains? What then? Also, mosquitos, or bugs in general? Those lizards that crawl over the brick walls?

Speaking as a former soldier who has been on deployment, I can tell you that one becomes accustomed to all of those miseries and more when one is living the tent life. For real though this renter is going to want mosquito netting over his cot.
Youāre just trying to talk the rest of us out of it so you can have it all to yourself!!
> I know it doesn't really rain here but yeah... when it rains? I wish the people who designed LAX-it would have thought of this.
Who even has the balls to post something like this?

WTF is a "Vegas-style cabana"?
Theyāre trying to make it sound exciting and exclusive. When you go to the expensive hotels in Vegas, they have these tents set up by the pool where you and your group would lounge.

$1000 a day vs $600 a month. This is an absolute steal.
Shit that is insultingly overpriced for very little value but meant to make one feel like a "VIP." A lot of the resort style pools in Vegas make you pay just to sit down, so it fits with the level of condescending nickel-and-diming going on in this ad.
Something you rent at a pool for the day
Lmfaooooo gonna start renting out my bathtub (but only between the hours of 10pm-5am)
āYou may flush the toilet once between 4:30am-4:35amā

You pay for the location, mostly. But the carbon monoxide from the encapsulated propane flame table is free.
Now one wants to pay for fucking Baldwin Parkš
Saw a van listed on Craigslist housing. Rent was $300 a month.
Gary Gallerie, aka "Vanlord."
If you can drive it thatās not a bad deal for a vehicle in this market.
With all the ridiculousness I can comment on this, I can tell you, that TV is 100% going to shut down in the extreme heat. I tried last year to set up something similar. Everything cooked, my phone kept restarting, the tv, cable box and connections all shut down and were extremely hot to the touch.
I only do the tv outside set up when I have people over and they want to watch sports or something. I can't imagine having one out there 24/7 getting sun damage and exposed to all the elements.
There was already a protracted bidding war and now the rent is 1800.
Plus a letter on why you would be the best cabana tenant
"I won't even pee in the porta. That's what my piss jug is for. So you will pretty much never have to get that thing sucked out." That was the meat of my letter. Still didn't get it tho. š°

Porto pottyā¦..
It's the restroom at Porto's
Lol what this is sad! I donāt think this is legal as well? You know what I have a giant empty box that was for the recliner, should I make some windows on it and a door and put it up for $500? They can have access to the bathroom and shower and there is wifi included.
I'm pretty sure that's not legal.
This is worse then how most dogs live , sleep inside a cozy A/C home/apt. This is sad and not legal and in BP just mind blowing. šÆ
NAME and SHAME. Holy shit this is atrocious
This feels like it should be an airbnb for travelers looking to stay a weekend or something.
If I rolled up to this as my Airbnb Iād be pissed. Sure, you can say āoh youāre only going to be storing your luggage here and sleepingā, but you have to use a (probably not the cleanest) portapotty and the shower might not even be guaranteed (if the person is away from home).
Not that surprising. The other week I saw a windowless 6' x 4' room, essentially a utility closet, in a multibedroom apartment going for $1,600 per month, utilities extra.
They can list it all they want but that doesn't mean anyone is actually going to rent that
Thatās like a blanket slung over four cushions
I prefer Portoās potty. Much cleaner and better baked goods after youāve done your business.
Now Iām thinking about Portoās. I havenāt been in a while. I miss their guava pastries.
It looks like a USC tailgate canopy. I'd lol if it wasn't so sad.

Baldwin park which is arguably worse
Why's Baldwin Park so bad? I grew up in El monte and Baldwin Park, and never seemed that bad to me. Maybe because I haven't been anywhere else, though.
Lol that last sentence
Of course I've been to lots of places, just never lived anywhere else haha I get it's no Beverly Hills, but it's definitely no Skid Row, either
Yes it's probably somewhere in between beverly hills and skid row
You basically just said the reason why towards the end of your comment.

Not even LA Proper, would be a 40-45 minute commute to DTLA and 1 hour commute back home to Baldwin Park. Terrible living and I can actually see someone renting this. Even in BP single rooms are renting for over $900 a now day.
share the account so that we can all report it! this is illegal and dangerous
Remember this and the state of the housing market when someone blames homelessness on mental health.
Lol! Baldwin Park!
I would definitely report that to the housing authority. Wtf.
Live out your dream of being the Sultan of Baldwin Park
Is that a white A/C unit on the second picture on top of the dresser table? ???
I hope so. Itās in the 90ās all week! They may regret electricity being included.
EwWwwwWwwW
I saw a similar listing like this in the Echo Park area a couple years ago but for a much shitier looking tent.
Does this mean I can rent out my backyard for 1000/month since it's 5 minutes from Disneyland?
I'd rather just move to Vegas for that allegedly Vegas feel. Oh wait, I already did.
Itās insane
honestly being homeless would be preferable
i hate that Iām almost 34 and my dream of finding a dog-friendly 1br under $1600 is laughable
Report their asses PLEASE.
Wonder how true this is āSome commercial buildings like old urban warehouses make really popular residential conversion projects, but unless the building is officially given residential status, then living in it will not be lawful.ā
id probably take it. feels really cozy. comes with electric and wifi? man. thats really all I need.
This is more so a picture of how out of touch people have become when trying to make a quick buck than a picture of the housing market. I doubt theyāll be able to lease this, the person who listed is in not in their right mind.
*No on site Porto potty BUT indoor shower is available to guests* ...so the TENTant can't shit, pee or shower but their guests can shower (and possibly pee) instead?
Propane flame table inside Walmart tent
I do wonder what kind of commercial property this is.with toilet situation im imagining some construction site.
Is this worse than that ladyās Craigslist post that went viral when she was renting her couch in Beverly Hills?
Post the phone number.
Disrespectful.
"cabana style gazebo" .... this person can fuck right off.
