Not everyone experiences pressures the same.
Especially after trauma. I know for me the stress of earning rent is WAY, WAY orders of magnitude less than living on the street. For many people it is that way, that is why they choose not to. Most people on the street don't want to be there (though you wouldn't know it, they are working poor who mostly sleep in their cars, what you see as homeless is only a small percentage of homeless)
You could experience trauma too. It can change anyone. A little empathy goes a long way.
- badpun 7y ago> they are working poor who mostly sleep in their cars How can you work full-time and not afford even the shantiest room somewhere?
- 4ntonius8lock 7y agoThey don't have full time. Many of the worst jobs in our society are given on part time/hours basis only. And most landlords now a days do background checks. If you have been in prison, had a foreclosure, bankruptcy, etc many places won't rent to you at all. So you have to go to predatory places which charge way more than your regular housing. However, this is all very basic information on this topic. Since you seem to not know these very basic facts, may I suggest not holding an opinion or judgement until you may do a little reading on the topic. It's my experience in my life that when I gave an opinion on something I was ignorant on, I generally felt ashamed afterwards. It's been a big motivator in me trying to know a little before giving an opinion. I think it's made me a better person.
