The Mobile Homeless in America
Ian Urbina had a great article in the NY Times a few days ago. Consider this statistic.
Last year was the first year on record, according to an annual study conducted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, that a full-time worker at minimum wage could not afford a one-bedroom apartment anywhere in the country at average market rates.
