Apparently, this is what constitutes as a touching story these days.

David “Squirrelman” Csaky, a self-taught carpenter, learned Tuesday that neighbors had found an aging recreational vehicle for him to occupy.

For two years, Csaky, 52, has lived about 30 feet above the ground on city land, on a 300-square-foot platform that he built, accessible by a ladder counterweighted with sandbags on pulleys.

Of course nobody asks why on God’s green Earth this man was living in a tree. They were just so overwhelmed with his life….or something. Turns out the guy was a self-taught carpenter or something so if he had a job why didn’t he just….oh, I don’t know…..rent an apartment?

….Ahem.

“Carpenter” he says.

Well, now I know why he was living in a tree for two whole years.
