Right, but I personally don’t see a scenario where living on the street doesn’t trump every single one of those other factors.
In other words, anything that involves me living on the street is a complete non-starter, regardless of how compelling the other factors are.
I get that some people really don’t have the option to just move somewhere cheaper. But if that’s at all a possibility, it seems like that should be a no brainier
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoThere has to be a place to live on the other end. That place has to be affordable and safe. There have to have enough funds for the entire family to move. The funds have to last until all of the jobs that pay enough are secured (in our case 3-4). The funds may also need to last long enough for the wage earners' business to be reestablished or can find an employer who's hiring portal doesn't auto-discard 20 year job gaps (that portal may not exist). All this assumes earning family members don't have even the most minor of criminal records. It also assumes family members don't have zero credit (which bar most rentals and many employers) after years of frugal living to save up those funds. God help anyone with medical debt. Just one of these factors can lead to family homelessness, in some city far away from their support systems.
