Yes, though I have trouble feeling sympathy for those who are employed and homeless and refuse to consider moving to a more affordable area. Moving is not easy, but it is something many of us do, especially as rents rise to the point of unaffordability. The fact that anyone is "priced out" of an area is deplorable, but it's a reality. But there are people here who would rather live in an illegally-parked RV than leave the area.

@SW-User In the end, someone can do something to improve their situation.
@SW-User Where I live, finding affordable housing, especially as a [b]new[/b] tenant within most of the neighboring cities, has people on waiting lists. What do they do in the meantime ? Say your work is in San Francisco or Oakland ? People commute from as far away as Stockton and Sacramento, 80 to 100 miles away
