people just donât have the money for that.
from the article:
Roughly a third of American adults donât have any emergency savings, meaning that over 72 million people have no cushion to fall back on if they lose a job or have to deal with another crisis
and keep in mind, to rent a place, you often need first and last months rent, or at least a security deposit, landlords want proof of employment, etc. and just imagine what happens if you have kids in tow.
things are difficult. the middle class has vanished, and the working poor have very few options. and thatâs before race even comes into play.

I was born in Grosse Pointe Farms, still a rather well-to-do, old-money suburb of Detroit, but was only there for five days.

Understanding adults is hard enough when theyâre directly talking to a kid is one thing; overhearing them talk seems to be downright confounding to a kid (well, it was to me, lol). It was sad.
