What point are you trying to make here?
How is the average retiree's income from Social Security relevant to the broader issue of poverty and homelessness among people of all ages?
- scarface74 7y agoFrom the parent post: If you live on Social Security as your only income and can no longer work, we don't have any market based housing for you and many government housing projects have wait lists that are years long.
- michaelmrose 7y agoMaybe all the poor people aren't too stupid to figure this out but have various complicating factors that often tag along with poverty like bad credit or losing their home due to poverty or job loss which is often described as a "poor rental history". It also assumes that one can find housing so cheap in areas where other people in your household can also find work. Lets be charitable and assume that poor people aren't struggling because they are too stupid to find cheaper places to live.
