I appreciate this. The comments here are disheartening. This isn't a beautiful piece of art. It is a meaningful piece, with a message that SHOULD be plastered on every new overpriced apartment building.

So, how many homeless people are you currently housing right now?

First of all, they wouldn't be homeless if I were housing them. Second of all, it's not every individual's responsibility to share their home in order to support housing the homeless. There are people who refuse to allow life income housing in their neighborhood because it would supposedly bring crime or lower their property values. That's the shit attitude that we can overcome. I would be happy if my town housed our homeless anywhere they could find for them and put it in my taxes. I believe that housing should be a human right. Plus, there are towns and cities around the country making it harder and harder to be homeless and not commit a crime just by existing homeless, but won't create any social safety nets for them. Why tf am I being voted down for caring about other human beings? Empathy. It's disappearing.

I've always asked what does "affordable" mean.
