Homeless camping on Coney Island Creek
“It’s not that bad if you know how to survive,” Hernandez explained. “We’re doing OK.”
The homeless men share a five-by-10-foot plastic tarp lean-to stuffed with blankets, a carpet and an upholstered green armchair. Each day, the hard-luck gang can be found cooking their food in two pots over a wood fire at the edge of the creek.
Carlos Montoya, 32, came to “chez shanty” four years ago after losing his job at a Neptune Avenue restaurant in Sea Gate. Living outdoors was tough at first, he said, but you can’t beat the $0 rent.
“There’s no work so I don’t have any money to pay rent right now,” Montoya said.
The quintet work together as a collective, supporting their meager lifestyle by collecting and selling scrap metal to a junk yard they found across from the park.
But its not all toil and sleeping under a tattered tarp. In the summer, Hernandez and his friends feast on clams, striped bass and snapper they pull from the creek — and spend their free time zipping up and down the waterway on a beat-up Jet Ski that someone gave to them a few years ago.
