That's nonsense man. I'm literally referring to a woman in the article who sleeps in a parkingarea because she can't pay rent, but she does work, owns a phone, a car, earns more cash than is necessary to pay for her non-rent living expenses. You're telling me she can't drive, or take a bus? Because what, she has to move all her belongings from the parking lot she currently lives in? Come on. Look, my parents were on welfare since I was 3, never had any financial support, I've hustled plenty of times moving places, never having owned a single car. Not a single piece of furniture in my home is new, everything is second hand and half of it I found on the street. Look I'm not saying it's as easy as opening an email account. Life is hard. But we're talking about a person who is homeless. She's way more capable than you may think, and I'm telling you, the solution to her problem is NOT staying in SF. You know that and I know that. But even if people can't move without help from third parties, the solution to this problem still isn't letting people who make little money to stay in the most expensive place on earth that they can't afford, it's just not going to work out. It's governments facilitating them to move. I'd completely support that. As soon as some people leave, who's quality of life will improve, companies will be forced to pay a living wage for those who stay, who's quality of life will improve, too. Would you stay? |
