    I love that, I truly do. Giving people a chance instead of trying to get rid of them. But what about those on the verge of homelessness? I work my ass off 5 to 6 days a week year round and I can barely afford a studio apartment. And I make like $3,000+ a month. If I lost one of my jobs and couldn’t find another I’d be homeless in just a couple months. I like this as a step forward but we need to solve the issue of rent. I’d be able to put a down payment on a house within a couple years if I didn’t sink 75% of my income towards rent. I’ve often thought of just living out of my car for a few years just to do so
