Escape of Notions

The homeless population in America, and the world, is increasing everyday! The American dream of home buying is becoming an unreachable goal for many. Apartment rental prices are soaring. If you are lucky, and can afford a home, prices and payments are huge! What is one to do?! The world isn't the Garden of Eden; it is a mean, cold, cruel, and dangerous place to be!

Homes are being foreclosed on everyday. Then, banks are turning around selling them for pennies on the dollar. Why not charge the occupants pennies on the dollar until the economic crisis resolves itself? Families are driven to bridges and underpasses. I'm sure the Dept. of Transportation will figure out a way to tax those boxes, I mean homesteads.

People are having to live multi-generational if they have family. People are having to share apartment costs with roommates; often times, these are unfamiliar people. Nonprofit organizations dedicated to housing the homeless are bulging at the seams; yet, there isn't enough funding to continue this major increase in services.

People require shelter. It is one of the three basic needs in life: food, clothing, and shelter. Something has to give! But what? And when?
