I live in Boulder and homelessness is a big problem here. Some people tie it to housing costs, which I don't buy. There are nearby towns with housing that is substantially cheaper, within a 30 minute bus ride if you really need to get to Boulder for some reason.
And how good is that support network if it leaves you camping in a tent down by the river? I'm not taking about moving across the state, just down the road a bit.
- D-Coder 1y ago> There are nearby towns with housing that is substantially cheaper Someone who doesn't have a job can't afford "substantially cheaper" housing anyway.

But if you have no place to store your clean (or dirty) clothes, or to shower, how many landlords are going to rent to you? How many employers are going to offer you a job? Those are not rhetorical questions.
- IncreasePosts 1y agoYou're talking about getting out of homelessness, I'm talking about not becoming homeless in the first place. It's not like rent increases happen overnight
- nobody9999 1y agoYou said "I live in Boulder and homelessness is a big problem here...And how good is that support network if it leaves you camping in a tent down by the river?" Nope. Definitely not talking about homeless poeple. Gotcha.
