Because liberals love to claim that they are for the “little man” while their policies - high taxation, stifling regulations, government giveaways, embracing the illegals - crush the middle class hoping to make a decent living the honest way.
Or, Congress could simply pass a statute temporarily eliminating land use restrictions in areas where median home prices exceed 3x median household incomes, until that ratio goes down to 2.5.
MOVE!
Making a combined $138,000 you could live extremely well in Texas, or most anywhere else in the middle of the country.
The media’s new “crisis”, this will be all over the MSM by the weekend.
It will captivate the Sunday talk shows.
hurry up...pass the hat...
Yep all those poor people with cell phones living in their cars because they value the luxuries of life more then care about the responsibility of life. They are making car payments and paying for insurance instead of rent?
THIS is what happens when you raise a generation to value “self esteem” instead of “responsibility”.
It’s a Depression in any big city run by crooked Democrats. What could possibly be the problem???
Most Americans can't afford the standard of living they've come to expect as their God-given birthright.
Sorry if that burst anyone's bubble here.
Because there is a republican president in the white house. The media writers guide demands that relationship.
The Number Of Socialist Californians Living In Their Vehicles “Explodes”; Middle Class Continues To Disappear.
There fixed it.
Housing is an issue which I can’t properly address, but there certainly are jobs to be had. Not many pay 60, 80, or 100K but they pay enough to survive and rent an apartment in most cities except San Fran.
This problem has been growing for years.
That is the obvious and expected result of the Socialist policies enacted by the Obama administration.
That’s what Trump ran on: stopping the destruction of the middle class, stopping the policies that make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but it takes time to reverse the damage already done and turn this ship around..
I have a brand new Suburban! I could easily live in it!
Homelessness is mostly a choice of people who have serious drug or alcohol problems, mental problems, or a combination of both.
Almost all homeless are men. There is a growing number of young urban “crusties” who reject steady jobs for panhandling and voluntary homelessness.
One factor: many workers live outside the work centers and commute weekly. The lodging cost is offset by sleeping in vehicles.
The work centers are where they are because the boss/owner wants to live there, and think that housing is a local government issue. The local government is restrained by selfish citizens who like things the way they are. So workers sleep in vans.
Doom and gloom articles didn’t appear under Bammy. They were saved until now.
Thanks to President Trump a bunch of homeless people who were sleeping on the streets can now afford cars. Good for them!
This is very worrying. Most everybody I know is middle-class or lower-middle-class. It could happen to most anyone if you don’t have a back up plan. A back up plan, meaning some way to stay housed if earning 30% less money for at least a few months.
