My son - who served eight tours in almost every M.E. country after 9/11, who was crushed under a C130 then denied surgery for his injuries so now at age 42 he can barely walk, who slept on the glowing ground of K2, and who witnessed unspeakable horrors - was living in a tent near the river until recently.
Fuck this fucking country.
Jesus Christ, that’ll get the blood flowing.
I really do hope you guys get the help you need.
Also a good time to remember that 7% of homes in the USA are vacant right now.
How many people could we house if we tried a little harder?
I’ve always wondered about the state of those vacant homes.
But yeah - a roof is a roof
and its crazy because in some large cities like San Jose, which appears to have about 12,000 vacant homes while it has about 9000 unhoused people. There are literally more empty homes than there are homeless people in the city.
Priorities are the damnedest thing
“But muh investment!”
