Ya, many years ago being the key term. That's not they way now. I don't disagree with you about everyone needing a home where you feel safe, loved and feel like you belong. I know many of the young kids leave a terrible situation. Since we have moved to California, in 2004, its..... horribly different. When I traveled through here in the 80's, 90's it was just Disneyland compared to what it is now. It is, just a sea of need. So many people are literally one paycheck away from homelessness. People with degrees are sleeping in their cars. Families are on the streets. Section. 8 housing has waiting lists literally YEARS, almost a decade long. It's just a disaster. Downtown you can see people naked, in wheelchairs and just out of it - I mean I call and WAIT and nag for ambulances, police (even though half the time ITS IN FRONT of a police station. Breath-taking. It hurts my soul. I volunteer, give everything I can, also rescue animals, we have brought up our daughter to do the same. We give Christmas gifts of donations. I mean - we need solutions. It's not young people looking for a better life, it's terribly mentally ill, disabled, families wrecked by just one serious illness, people who lost a job (oh and here you can be fired for no reason at all without notice). Tough.
