Nevermind that the middle-class has been eradicated, the price of living far out weighing the wages, what the fuck do you think is going to happen when people with good jobs cant afford to rent?

No need to be uncivil. Those are the working poor who are usually one step up from the bottom rung of homelessness, which I was talking about. I'm talking about the very bottom who inhabit Skid Row in LA, the one's shitting and shooting up in San Fran. By giving free money to addicts, what die we expect to happen? They'd magically get better and get jobs? That money would have been far better spent on the working poor, helping them get the housing that was promised. LA alone raised over a billion dollars to build low-income housing and have barely created any. Instead politicians and corporations got that money and there are more homeless than ever.
