Homeless != jobless. Theyre not the same thing.
The statistics are pretty clear that the 80s were a MUCH better time to rent.
Drug usage is mostly caused BY homelessness. There is a strong economic incentive in play explaining why you believe the opposite.
We're told that homelessness is caused by drugs rather than endlessly rising rents because a lot of very rich people are making ungodly sums of money from endlessly rising rents and theyd like to continue. For that they need ownership of media and a good scapegoat - both of which many of them have.
Not too many magazines owned by homeless people rather than property developers but if there were theyd tell the opposite story.
- kortilla 4y agoThe people that maintain jobs aren’t the visible homeless OP is referring to. The dude in a tent on embarcadero shooting up isn’t working as a barista 40 hours a week.
- pydry 4y agoHe probably will be after 5-10 years of homelessness. Drugs salve the pain and despair of being homeless which becomes overwhelming after a few years on the street with no hope in sight. Theres no way somebody on a low wage is going to be able to afford rent anywhere near Embarcadero. The land-parasites have the market locked up.
