Keep in mind, I could really care less what happens to these people or who is at fault. But I know what the effect of a rise in homlessness has on a nieghborhood and the crime rate there.
Thats what I'm concerend about. And all I hear people talking about is compassion on one side, and callousness on the other, but they are both blind as to the bigger picture.

This is *NOT* about her, acting as such distracts from the real issue. This is not about bleeding hearts. It is about the security of society.

Reality check.
She's lucky to find any job at her age and in the situation she faces. Once situational depression becomes an issue, things will get worse for her.

Are we that attached to our metal skin (cars)?

Let me get this straight:
You live alone in an apartment (at 17)
You have a Job making $8.00 an hour
You put 1/3 of your checks away
You are in college
So if you work 40 hours a week (which is generous considering your in college and a teenager) You would make $1280 a month (before taxes) you put a third of that away leaving you $853 a month.
So your claiming you pay Rent, Utilities, Insurance, Gas, Food, and whatever else on $853 a month.
Thats pretty impossible in todays society....care to enlighten us on your methods?
