Should this man have been allowed to stay in his cave?

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - A man was evicted from a cave he had lived in for 11 years after pleading guilty to using a national forest for residential purposes. Thomas J. Crawford had a bed, books and clothes arranged on hangers, along with pots and cutlery for cooking in his cave in the Coconino National Forest in northern Arizona. He was arrested Friday after a Flagstaff resident reported a suspicious camp. Crawford pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Monday and was sentenced to one year of probation and banned from the forest. He told Forest Service officials he would come to Flagstaff every week or so to get supplies and water. 'As you can see, I don't have a TV or anything,' he said. 'I've got the sky, the wind, the rain, the canyon wrens.... This is a beautiful mountain. You could explore it a lifetime...'
