Viral Three-Story Treehouse Built by Homeless Man Dismantled in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, California - A unique three-story treehouse, constructed by a homeless man known as Erick in South Central Los Angeles, has been dismantled by city officials after gaining widespread attention on TikTok. The makeshift dwelling, built ingeniously from scavenged materials, had become a viral sensation, drawing tens of thousands of likes and comments online. Erick, whose full name was not disclosed, crafted the elaborate structure using wooden pallets, tarps, and other discarded items, creating a multi-level hideaway within a tree. The video footage shows the intricate construction, including a ladder made of pallets leading up into the tree, and glimpses of Erick collecting water from a fire hydrant, indicating the self-sufficiency required for his unconventional living situation. Despite the public's fascination and the man's resourcefulness, authorities moved to dismantle the treehouse. The incident has sparked discussions among online viewers regarding homelessness, urban regulations, and alternative living solutions. Erick reportedly plans to build a 'Tree Mansion 2.0,' demonstrating his resilience in the face of adversity.
