Disagree. Their frozen meals are so much better than frozen meals by any other brands I’ve tried (Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Amys, Evol, etc, etc). And their snacks are delicious. Especially dried fruit and nuts. No where else offers TJs prices for that stuff, except maybe Lidl/Aldi and it’s also better.

This was my thought. You may get back some of your security deposit, but, do the math regarding the amount of time it will take you to pack and unpack, plus the movers - whether you hire someone, or get friends to help. Whether you’ll need different/new furniture/etc. Moving is expensive, and $100/month increase in the market right now isn’t terrible.

Yeah, I didn’t realize this was not everyone’s reaction until I was well into adulthood. I can literally not touch one at all, and before I know it, it looks like I scratched it til it bled…but I didn’t. (Welt with an opening in the middle, that scabs over) Growing up my parents always just accused me of scratching them too much and that I just needed to resist. Well, I tried that, and my skin still reacted that way. Very unfair.

Essentially it means low barrier to entry - a person who has been chronically houseless, who may have ongoing substance abuse or mental illness concerns, gets to access housing before they have to be completely sober or fully in treatment and stable (like holding down a full time job, or having completed all of the paperwork to obtain disability).
Give them a roof over their head, in the form of permanent supportive housing, and the costs to the system overall go down — hospitals, jails, etc. It can be controversial because of society’s view that people should have to “earn” certain things, but it’s effective. There’s now decades of published research on it. There’s just not enough political will to support enough of it.
