Loading ...A one time payment isn’t going to be enough to help the uncontrolled rising cost of living as well as homelessness in California. Instead what do they do is open borders and make it worse. A person living solely on SS could not make it here unless they owned property and it was paid for but even then property taxes utilities and insurances as in Car insurance also has penalties and is higher in Calif.
Byrrmeister sp also fell into that problem where she had to cut off the internet and even then. They could make it on two SS checks but not one. When her husband fell ill and was hospitalized it took up his check. We talked about waiting to draw SS which is what I did because she was made to believe it was better to draw early on top of it. Then I’m sure Irish got a bit of her money for what ever was going on in Belize she could have used and would have needed.
One income on SS forget it here. It’s more or as much as a one bedroom apt and your expected to make three times the rent.
These are honest hard working people most all their lives.
Now the young can’t even make it at the start here without staying home or getting roommates.
We have increasing working class sleeping in their cars. We have groups of people on SS that live in campers or converted box cars. Thanks to the internet it makes their lives a little more comfortable.
Part of it is the Bay Area Tec moving here but it’s mainly greed and mismanagement like a run away train with no one in charge.
Meanwhile companies like Amazon are growing.
When I went to return something back to Amazon I found they have their own wear house building not that far away. It’s huge like a half a block long and trying to be techie modern thinking their cool give priority to EV car parking. Then you are supposed to use your phone to do it.
My son and daughter-in-law took me to a early Mother’s Day dinner and had to use my phone to open a app at the table to read the menu. I guess that way no disposable menus because of the virus.
At least it’s providing more jobs but it’s not helping the cost of living.
