    You said before deleting:

    I’m sure every homeless person could have a home if they just tried harder! This isn’t the most inhumane, cruel system ever!

    I’m literally homeless too (I live in a van in order to have freedom, autonomy, and owe nothing to landlords or mortgage companies), and I see the housing industry for what it is, it wants to drain nearly every dime out of everyone, exploiting everyone’s basic human need for shelter. It’s extortion and I have no desire to be a victim or slave to it.

      Yeah, I deleted because I originally misread/misinterpreted your comment as a defense for the system rather than criticism, being tired and all. Please dismiss what I said.

      I wish you good luck and all the support you deserve and need to get out of this situation.

        Ah yes thank you for understanding. I re-visited what I wrote & you’re right, it can be interpreted two different ways, and you’re right, I wrote it from a critical perspective, I despise what capitalism & the housing industry have done to us.

        As far as me needing to escape my current living situation? I live in a brand new off-grid Mercedes Sprinter with solar panels & plumbing & refrigerator & convection oven. I can literally live anywhere I want without paying rent or mortgage, and I imagine most people would want to get out of THEIR situations to enjoy this type of freedom! I’m quite in bliss!
