And what about just in general being able to afford the area. If you are living in a one bedroom with 5 people, clearly you can’t afford the neighborhood.
Disagree. There is nothing wrong with living poor, as long as you don’t attempt to “act rich” or take from others because of it, and your children don’t suffer because of it (granted that is difficult).
In the shtetel, we were all poor and lived in small homes much worse then someone in BP lives now.
