Particularly if they live with parents, share with friends, or move to a cheaper area, or just go to 3/4 days a week.
Minimum wage zero savings workers aren't doing this for the most part.
i fail to understand if american cities, big ones are made up of people from smaller towns, why don't they return back if they loose a job or something? sure there are cases like mortgage and all but what about being on the street?
i'm pointing out economics of what you wrote. why does a newly homeless couple have to stay on the streets when they could potentially back a bus back to their parents homes?
do parents not tolerate their kids? "you've flown the nest so don't ever come back again"?
its very weird for me
It is essentially impossible to genuinely be homeless in the UK for more than a few weeks unless you just can't be arsed. There are huge job surpluses at the moment and the minimum wage is twice as much as is needed to rent a room even in London.
fine. point taken about those. what about the "job lost" or "bank forclosed my home, i am homeless". i agree but shouldn't the state look after physically or mentally disabled? or is "socialism" too russia to accept as proud americans? i agree. where i live, we have the same thing. the market is shit but people are not on the streets. people prefer living 5 families in a home, 1 in each room instead of trying to "make your own nest" by renting and then not being able to afford.
There are lots of super poor people, those aren't the ones quitting.
