Carlos lived in a sewer in the Freedom Tunnel in New York City. He is what many consider one of the mole people - a name given to the homeless who live in the tunnels beneath New York.

I first met Carlos in 2007, and visited him a number of times over a period of several months. He was part of a small group of people who had made homes for themselves in abandoned parts of an Amtrak train tunnel that runs under the West Side highway in New York City.
Carlos was very friendly. He showed me his home on several occasions, and invited me in at one point to help him fix his computer. He had an interesting life, and I am grateful he was willing to be on camera.
Carlos no longer lives in the Freedom Tunnel. A number of years ago the authorities removed all the people living in the tunnel, and cleaned up the area. The section of tunnel that Carlos and several other homeless people had chosen to live in is very different now.
One of Carlos' friends has set up a Gofundme for him. Thank you to everyone who wishes to help him.

Thank you to all who want to donate to the Gofundme for Carlos. The goal was met, and he is very appreciative. Another Friend of Carlos' has started a new Gofundme. www.gofundme.com/f/help-carlos-the-homeless-man-who-lived-in-a-tunne?qid=92c5cf9ff949ecf9440334e27605eae0 Here is my newest video of Carlos giving more info about his life since we first met ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zHf8UA1QEvo.html I will be working on the follow up video of Carlos in the coming weeks, and aim to release it late February/Early March UPDATE: 12/9/22 I visited Carlos again the other day. He is doing well, and appreciative of all the kind words and support. I will be posting a follow up video sometime in January. UPDATE: 9/22/22 I saw Carlos again two days ago. We had a nice talk, which lasted longer than the previous time. He remembered me, and even where I lived in 2007. I gave him some help, and told him of all the nice comments and offers to help from this video. We coordinated to meet again in about a month, and have tentatively planned a follow up video about him. He said the tunnel was cleared out about 10 years ago, but didn't remember the exact year. He thinks it had to do with Amtrak cleaning up all the graffiti, as well as all the construction and other activity right at the entrance to the tunnel. _________________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE to address some recurring comments: I saw Carlos a few weeks ago - it had been a while since I last saw him, so it was a pleasant surprise. He didn't remember me, but seemed to be doing ok. He was listening to the scripture, and wouldn't talk too much, but he confirmed some things others have told me about the tunnel. I don't know where he lives now, but I have an idea of the general neighborhood he is in (I won't share that info). He does seem to be "homeless" still. I hope to find him again in a month or so to check in on him. There was at least one other video of Carlos (unrelated to mine) that came out about 2008 -ish. This video was a co-production between a French company and the Sundance Channel. Sundance released the segment with Carlos on their show "Full Frontal Fashion." In that video Carlos repeated a prediction made by Harold Camping (a Christian radio personality) that the world would end in 2011. The start of this judgement day was supposed to start on May 21, 2011 and culminate on October 21, 2011. In that other video, Carlos said "May twenty-one" instead of "May twenty first," so viewers thought he was referring to May 2021. It appears that video blew up in popularity during 2020, and the person who posted it has since made it private. A copy has been uploaded, and can be found on youtube. If you listen closely he does say "2011" at one point, but it is hard to understand. The French documentary about the freedom tunnel is called "dans les entrailles de new york" and is also on youtube. Carlos spoke about this prediction/prophecy when I filmed him also - I didn't include it, because as far as I can tell, it didn't happen. If you listen closely, during some sections of my video you can hear the radio show in the background - he listened to "Family Radio" pretty much all the time. I saw another documentary from around 2013? that briefly showed the opening to Carlos' home - his voice can be heard coming from inside declining to be on camera. He says that the cops had already come through that day. It is certainly possible that those videos, and others, plus articles and blog posts about the Freedom tunnel got Carlos and the others removed. This tunnel and it's residents have been in the news since the 1990s - there was even a Jerry Springer episode about it. I think it is also possible that gentrification contributed. There has been a ton of money put into that neighborhood, from both developers and the city. The whole area is much more active than it used to be. Plus the area where Carlos lived, and entered the tunnel is actually being used now. Amtrak has maintenance trains, extra track and other equipment right there. They installed lights, so the whole area is much brighter. The park maintenance crews are also right near the entrance, storing their lawn mowers, etc. It would be much more difficult to go unnoticed now than it would have in 2007-2008 when I first visited the tunnel. I also heard that the people were cleared out of the tunnel due to flooding from hurricanes in recent years. Unfortunately without finding the person who gave the order to remove everyone, there is no way to know the why people were removed.

TBF, you don't get to be rich by being nice. You need to be cutthroat and outsmart the law as well as rules of business. You need to pay for a good lawyer and listen to every word they say. You need to diversify your investments and never trade on emotion. You need to be able to make others poor in order to benefit yourself. You need to be able to walk over others to get them out of the way for the road you pave to wealth. You need to be able to drop friends and family just so that you can make money. You have to make your life all about making more money, or you lose it all. Then when you are wealthy enough to live comfortably and maintain that wealth off dividends, then MAYBE you might have an ounce of peace like many people that live in poverty get. Though that almost never happens, and I mean by being rich and then just retiring/stopping. Making money is just as addictive as any illicit drug. There's no remorse, if only that you wish you should have screwed over more people to get more money. The kind of people that get to be rich, don't know how to stop, and will never stop. The kinds of people that see what they have become and want out, end up losing it all, or more often, never making it in the first place. Life is unfair and you only get one shot at it.

It’s easier than you think to one day wake up in Carlos’ situation. I hope he continues to do well for himself.

I hope that Carlos wherever he is, is living comfortably and is happy. Such an awesome man, with an amazing, kind and gentle attitude. He didn't deserve being evicted from his home in the sewer.

Losing a home is more than a heartbreak. The sewer was his only home and losing it is like losing a part of him and half his life. 🥺

@someone-ji2zb Год назад

Perhaps, but he is choosing not to work anymore as well. He looks fairly clean, what has kept him from holding down basic work? There are jobs where you could just show up looking like a bum and still get paid (on site construction work as a big example where they just want cheap labor).

He don’t work and that’s the problem. Emotion should be shown but to the right person.

I’m 24 and homeless in Charlotte NC, this inspired me to keep going. It’s hard, especially because it’s cold. I currently sleep in a tent behind my job. I’m trying to save up for my own car so I can sleep in there. Honestly at times I don’t see a end to this and it’s hard on my mental health because I have no support. I just hope it gets better

the fact that a man who lives in a tunnel underground says that he doesn’t have to „worry about food“ because all the supermarkets throw so much perfectly edible food away puts this society to shame once more.

@ThatIrishGuy01 Год назад

As someone who works in a large supermarket i agree, it pisses me off so much seeing it, alot gets sent away to be made to dog food but not everything, some is just binned because of dates but are still perfect really, customers cause alot of waste though, by opening packets and taken 1 item from inside or even no. to leaving chilled items and meat on shelves or putting chilled items in the freezer. If your're one of those people please stop, you cant just put things back after as it's a health issue. So much wasted meat from just this , combine that with every supermarket and i cant even comprehend the amount wasted.
