The drugs and mental illness are a big problem, but around here, we have a lot of people who are working, but they can’t afford rent and they are mostly living in their car.
Here in the Seattle area many working poor were forced out onto the streets and the mobile home parks were demolished by developers to create large expensive housing. It used to be a low-wage guy could buy a used trailer, pay to rent his spot and pay for utilities and basically fund his own tiny home.
But libtards did not like having these lesser creatures living among them. Somehow they are smug about themselves when they provide taxpayer tiny homes but not okay with low paid providing for themselves.
