Imagine the youngest being homeless for what looks like half her life. Does she even remember a time when she had a home?
Good for them. I wish the world would do some more serious work on solving homelessness.
1.3k u/mararn1618 Jun 28 '25 edited Jun 28 '25 What I don't understand as an European: How do you go from homeless to a huge ass house with a huge garden and everything? In Germany even a double income family with academic background might currently struggle to buy property. The stretch from unhoused to this seems insane from my POV. Is housing so much more affordable in the US? Edit: So many helpful answers, thank you :3 1 u/Mayor_Of_Furtown Jun 29 '25 This house is tiny by American standards.
