Nobody is forcing this single mom with another let us say nicely out-of-wedlock child on the way to live in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. If this woman for some reason wants to live in San Mateo that is her choice. Normal people move to cheaper housing outside Silicon Valley and often endure extreme commutes to get to work.

Here’s what she could rent for $1,000 or much less in Dallas/Ft Worth:

At some point you need to do a cost/benefit analysis and move where you can afford to live.

How are we supposed to feel sorry for her?

I live in Southern CT but commute to Manhattan which is a 90-minute commute each way. I'd love to have an apartment in Manhattan but all I would be able to afford there is the type of apartment this lady occupies.

Instead, I get a 4,000 sq. ft. home with two acres of land. But I'm 60 miles away and have to commute three hours each day.

It's my choice and I'm not bitching about it.

If she will provide the names of the individuals who forced her to do this to the authorities then I’m pretty sure the thugs can be arrested and charged with extortion, kidnapping, illegal incarceration, white slavery, or something.

The police and district attorneys should be able to find an appropriate crime to charge them with because it cannot be legal to FORCE someone else to live in a garage.

She could pay the mortgage on a house for $1,000 a month in most areas more than an hour drive from a big city.

South San Mateo is right next door and much cheaper.

She wants to live in San Mateo, she is going to pay for the address.

The average property rent in San Mateo is $3,608, according to the real estate firm Zillow.com

That's just plain stupid.

Actually, $1000/mo looks like a relatively decent price, considering the neighborhood.

Hence why I stay out of those “fancy” cities. We’re looking for new digs right now, Got one place that’s 1700 sq ft for $975. Awesome part of town too, though the place is a little beat up.

$1,000 a month payment in most parts here will get you a modest 1200-1500 sq foot house.

This is our fault. Yes, we conservatives are to blame, especially conservatives on Free Republic. Us all being racists is only a small part of the bigger problem. Any conservative paying anything less than 90% of their income in taxes put this poor pregnant woman and child in these horrid living conditions.

I used to live in San Mateo. We moved out of state 20 years ago so my wife could be a stay at home mom.

The Bay Area housing market is absurd, and getting worse.

I wonder if it is the garage of her parents’ house, she gets some taxpayer funded $1,000/month of “rent assistance”. Then also probably is getting food stamps, WIC benefits, free health care.

What do you suppose happened to the father/s of the child/ren?

Seems like, if she has $1,000/month to spend on rent, there must be better options, even if sharing a house as a roommate with another young single person.

I suspect this whole story and video was done as some kind of ploy for a “gofundme” charity event, or similar.

JMHO

It’s probably the same people who forced her to get pregnant out of wedlock.
