If you live where the jobs are the cost of housing is a big problem. But when we look at public housing there is often a lot of crime and social dysfunction in those neighborhoods. The poor have always been used and abused by predators and left behind by the more upwardly mobile. There are solutions like UBI and taking the profits out of our basic needs like secure housing, healthy food and clean water and healthcare but the status quo capitalist propaganda acts like the only solution is one where someone profits off of people's pain and suffering. Capitalism is fine for entertainment and luxury goods, but not for meeting those things we find on Maslow's Basic needs category. As long as ones wealth is the primary measure of success in our society nothing will change.

@morphkogan8627 Totally agree that something is better than nothing. But when that something is next to nothing I think we can do better. Too many people are making a buck off the suffering of others.
