Down again.

Growing up Cupertino was the country. A family could buy a affordable home now even a dump is work 2 million. because of COVID A lot of people lost jobs and ended up on the streets. Buying Rvs are big now. I see them on the streets all over the Bay Area. and sadly have seen people living out of their cars. It shouldn’t have to be so hard on people and there are more have not now than haves. My best Friend who I grew up with is living in a homeless shelter. I give her money when I can but she can’t even afford an apartment. Life sucks now for so many people.
