RE: A Look At Seattle's Homeless Problem And How It Is Destroying the City.
It is a sad thing when homeless are cause by governments and companies. Landlords and fucking banks cause homeless. My wife and I make pretty ok money but the prices of rent and Bill's and taxes is getting out right insane.
My Bill's to live are over 60% of our wages and I still live in a place smaller than I would like with my kids sharing rooms and small space.
A single person making minimum wage will almost never be able to live in thier own place they will have to live with roommates to have even a 1 bedroom when they are paying 800 a month rent and making 1400 after taxes it makes it dam nere impossible to not be homeless
Drug use is a not even close to the only reason for homelessness. In my part of Canada we have so few low rent places and the homeless shelters are full. The government needs to step in and lower rent or build more apartments for low income people
Actually the government did step in... they created the Landlord tenant act which made renting out a home so expensive and such a liability everyone sold their rental houses or just quit renting.
I do agree housing costs are too high, but I also think that government interference and banks giving out huge loans are part of that problem as well.
Thats insane! no more personal incomes then from renting out propertys? Thats wrong, stopping people to earn money like that! Just like stamping out uber drivers, and uber starting to use driverless cars.. taking job opportunity from people who have the savvy to make money with their own car
