What a blessing to have a place to call your own even if small as is mine too (11squares) for this temporal life, as you say - somewhere to lay your head at night. I often think about the hundreds of millions of people who do not have a place such as I have or food such as I can buy, or clean water, or even clean air. But there are times when we can give a little to some others who are in need.

@@pjay3586 It may seem a bit trite, but it may be more correct to read it as - "The love of many is A root of all evil." Pride was THE first root of all evil, which then found its way into the heart of mankind, and that first man didn't have money to begin with, but he became loaded with pride.. Pride comes before a fall, and such poverty is a tragic symptom of pride which is a father of greed. It is pride that exalts a man above his fellow man and refuses to bend low to help him when he is unable to pay his rent or whatever. Governments who ignore or refuse to alleviate the suffering of the poor have a lot to answer for. It is a mammoth task but it is fixable, with a good dose of compassion, mercy and tenderness, and political will.

They raise because they can. The market pushes the rent to go up. For a landlord, it makes to them to raise the price along the market because it will be filled anyway. Think about it, if you can earn $2,000/month by kicking out some strangers who is paying $1,500/month, are you going to do it? For most people, the answer would be "yes". That's exactly why we cannot let the Market decide everything. That's why the government should step in and provide social welfare for those people with lower income. That's why that "small government" concept is a bullshit made up by those wealthy people. Same thing goes to the health system in the U.S. What a shame.

Have a Masters and worked several jobs, but got priced out. It’s hard to leave home and everything and everyone you know and love, but it’s worth it to build self stability and roots in a new place.

I REALLY feel for these folks. I was homeless for a while. However, it was a very good experience for me. I was a college student, at the time (dorms had been closed for the year). I was 21 at the time. I couldn't IMAGINE being homeless now, with a wife and 4 kids. I wish I could help more. We've let homeless stay with us. However, there's inevitably complications.

The place you served those sandwiches at could also hand out packets of information about orgs that are willing to help. If we stop handing out money and food and just gave them information they would eventually use that. It's all they would have. Right now I'm involved with the Doe Fund, an organization that helps homeless men on two fronts: homelessness, and lack of skills. You have to pay rent there so they put you to work at 15 dollars an hour and drug treatment is a requirement. They also help a man acquire some skills and certifications along with job placement assistance to help you get and maintain employment and housing. How many more people know of these types of organizations?

1st off the city plays a huge role in displacing families. Deblasio and Bloomberg opened the flood gates for these developers to come in and make luxury apartments. There is literally no affordable housing . Gentrification is a huge problem here. There is also a huge number of other factors that play a role.i have been homeless and gone through the shelter system before. It is not easy.

And they're unemployed or underemployed? Where's the personal accountability with some of them?

This documentary is from 5 years ago. I’d like to see a follow up to see where the city is now, especially during this pandemic. It would definitely be interesting.

If every one of these landlords fixed the problems in those apartments their profits would go way down - you sign a lease and it's the landlord who is supposed to fix a broken pipe or broken toilet or cracked ceiling. And since they are the ones actually breaking the leases to these people they should lose the ownership of those apartment buildings.

There are cities that have artificial housing problems like San Francisco where people protest and try to stop apartments from being built but also complain about the cost of living. If you don't have the money to live at the epicenter of the world economy, then you should probably find somewhere else to live. I don't live there because it's way too expensive.
