Post-industrial Buddhism is what it is. Yeah like it’d be great to do that in a cave or forest or open prairie but who the fuck can afford those things?
Abandoned buildings are free as long as you don’t fuck with the native inhabitants’ meth.
I’m not doubting there are abandoned buildings in cities. I’m doubting any city within the US with the exception of the southwest is more than a few miles from a forest.
That’s still going to be a problem living in an abandoned building though. That part doesn’t change regardless of where their friend goes to meditate (unless that place is work I guess)
Actually the larger parks near me (the only places that have enough trees to qualify as something close to a forest) do cost money (american city metro area)

I would just worry of asbestos or heavy metal contamination in the buildings, especially if I’m sleeping on or near the floor
All the good caves are taken.
Are you worried about this sort of thing in general? I would argue that these things are pretty esoteric concerns.
Anybody? Where do you live that hanging out in the forest costs money?
Transportation to and from the forest isn’t free.
Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.
I promose you those places also have laws against camping on private property in an abandoned building.
Yes, but not as many people go to abandoned buildings so you’re less likely to be seen by others and reported.
I’d be way more concerned about running into someone in a 'bando than out in the woods though.
Hiker in the woods is going to go the other way. A homebum in a bando? Who knows how they’ll react.
What flavour of english is this
In the middle of a city, which doesn’t have nearby forests.
If we’re talking about the US, that’s no city I’ve ever seen except maybe the southwest

What forest? Most people live nowhere near a forest
Most American cities have a forest within a few miles. Our largest city, for example, has 50 acres of forest right in the Bronx.
Most people don’t live in America either
Most people on 4chan do
Easter Island
OP didn’t mean the cost of going there, they meant still paying the bills while going to the forest instead of work
