This is a cruel take. Most are forced into that lifestyle. You should be ashamed

This sub will wake you up to liberal racism. I can't believe you got downvoted.

Honey this is /r/nyc, you're witnessing garden-variety conservative racism.

Nah, the gentrification people gotta FN go! I know how they vote too.... you realize we know who they are by now and what they're about.

You're the racist when you assume problems are due to one race. Read what you just wrote - plenty of successful hardworking people of all races in this city and country, as this country is one of opportunity. I think we should just acknowledge that those who throw away their opportunities shouldn't be rewarded - and instead it should go to children and families who actively are trying to better their lives. True racists (libs and conservatives) always make everything about race and do nothing about proposing real solutions.

Not really, I knew a few people that chose to live like that. Life is mostly based on personal choices. No one is forcing anyone to be homeless.
