I&
#39;m close to a breaking point. There&
#39;s a point in this video where a landlord&
#39;s maintenance man weeps as he is being forced to move an elderly woman&
#39;s possessions into the street.

This child with a child lost his job to COVID, found a new one, and shows the reporter his $300 minimum wage paycheck. He couldn&
#39;t keep up. The reporter asks about his possessions on the curb. "Oh that&
#39;s trash. We have no car, no place to go, no place to put it."
With nothing but a backpack and a stroller full of baby clothes, diapers, and children&
#39;s snacks, they&
#39;re off to God knows where. This didn&
#39;t need to happen. We could have avoided this outcome in so many different ways. As a society, we chose not to.
