So true, I cannot believe the amount of residents that look down their noses at others who do not have the means to have a decent place to live.
I had the first hand knowledge of what goes into trying to find affordable housing for one’s family. The girls that worked for me made really good money compared to some living in the South, but once u add all the expenditures (childcare, food, electricity,car and insurance and rent) many times the only places they could find were miles away from the store, adding stress to daily life. Add to that they were trailers, which in my thinking are not the safest abode when u live in Florida.
People need to stop looking down their noses, not everyone has mommies and daddies that live in the Villages that they can move in with. The girls that worked for me were hard working decent people that had not amassed years of savings to live on. I’m sure they would love a nice apartment around the corner from work.
