(57,936 posts)that so many people in my neighborhood are living, if you can call it that, in what used to be motels on the main street in my area.
These places are tiny. I cannot imagine spending my day in a small cubicle in a crowded office somewhere and then returning to one of these tiny rooms with, I suppose, an attempt at a kitchen in one corner right close to the bathroom, a couch, a TV and a small table. It is no wonder we have a drug problem in this country.
I read today that the City of Los Angeles is going to refurbish old motels into housing for homeless veterans. That is a good thing because at least people have a bed to sleep in at night.
But overall, we need a little more working together to make life good for each other. Living in a motel room may be bearable for a single adult, but for a family???
Bernie is our only hope when it comes to changing the attitudes of Americans toward each other so that we can all have dignity in our lives.
