We have tons of homeless people here:
1) They had employment, but they lost it all
because Companies relocated, went bankrupt,
or worse - moved out of State
2) More and More businesses are tightening the
belts and lay-offs have been massive - jobs have
been scarce in my area for quite a long time. (We
have 'upscaled hobos here')
3) Divorces are at an all-time high because no
one can support the other; you have CEO's now
working at McDonald's, Attorney Secretaries
working as cashiers, and seriously now - people
with high degrees are working at low-end jobs
and cannot afford anything.
4) It takes 3 jobs just to survive here because
of the high utility rates that are ever-increasing
(and I haven't even mentioned the fuel cost,
food, and other expenses yet)!
5) Insurances has gotten OUT OF CONTROL!
6) People have fled this State - even abandoning
homes; and to heck with foreclosures! Until that
Federal Law came to being that they wished they
hadn't done what they did, because, it would have
only been on their credit report for 10 years and
then dissolve, not anymore, due to the new law.
7) Before - you couldn't be so picky about what
kind of home you wanted (used), and Builders
were building new homes like crazy, tearing up
precious valuable land where wildlife had no place
to go until the Settlers, Pioneers (I'm a Pioneer
Native), and long time Transplant put a vote in
to STOP THIS LAND HOGGING! For we are the
smallest County in the entire State of Florida but
yet the most densely populated ... Not anymore,
Builders have ceased or abandoned their projects,
homes are up for sale - but "WHAT GOOD IS IT?"
There's no jobs anywhere ... my son and his friends
have been looking for employment since they were
15-16 years old (my son is the 7th generation of
this County, he's also a Pioneer Native). The
Northerners floods down here and takes it all away
from the natives and long time transplants - leaving
them with no place to go. And many are homeless.
Sure - they've got University/College Education, but
it seems that everyone wants someone from "Up
North" or someone with some education from "Up
North".
8 ) My own personal friends - have closed their
businesses after 15-20-30+ years in this County,
shutting it down or going "Out of Business", all
because of "Northerners" who've flooded and ran
the local Southern laid back business right out the
door. They are, but memories of the past and in
historical museum(s). How are the Northerners
doing? Not too good. That's what is causing all
the people to loose their employment - by going
out of business, lay offs, cut-back in hours, even
severed pay cuts ... where they once had but only
ONE JOB - now have to have 2 or 3 jobs just to
sustain themselves.
