In the richest country on Earth we should be more generous and point fingers at those who exhibit their insensitivity to the needs of the poor. Capitalism when joined with selfishness can be quite terrible and it is only our compassion that makes our economic system work. When I was a boy there was real attention given to building public housing. Interesting that in most of the world there are apartment buildings rather than all of the separate homes that we prefer. Over the years we have decided to no longer provide affordable housing to the poor. All sorts of convenient reasons have been given as to why we should give up on public housing—but the real reason is a misguided view that capitalism must remain dog eat dog. But in reality, that attitude will eventually destroy us.
This is terrible, and calls for a new Raging Granny song. Something like: If you sleep in the park under moon or sun , you better keep one eye open- so you ‘ll see the cops coming and run! Shame shame!!
The Supreme Court dis a supreme disservice to Amerixca, AGAIN. What Providence and Cranston are doing, sanctioned by the Supremes, is obscene. But unless we gtotally restruxcture housing markets (andf mostly get rid of housing markets) the suggested remedies are too weak to ber of much use.

I couldn't agree more, Geoffrey.
