I've been through Niland, and around Slab City, to see Salvation Mountain. I got to meet Leonard Knight a few times (may he rest in peace).

Slabber = Slacker?

Dipping out of society does not require one to live in poverty.

The older man saying that the CA Teachers Pension Fund owns Slab City does not have his facts straight.

Slab City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1961: Land conveyed to the State of California:

As of October 6, 1961, a quitclaim deed conveying the land to the State of California was issued by the Department of Defense as it was determined the land was no longer required. The deed did not contain any restrictions, a recapture clause, or any restoration provisions. All of the former Camp Dunlap buildings had been removed. The remaining slabs were not proposed for removal. Later legislation required that revenue generated from this property go to the State Teachers’ Retirement System.

And get shot at as they ask you for donations (on land they do not own, no less).
