Chris Barreira yep especially since there's more vacant homes than there are homeless people... we could easily end homelessness but nobody wants to actually end it.
Robert Brown so how come in other countries it's very rare to be homeless???? It's only this damn country where we have the resources to get people off the street and don't use them.. instead we're creating more problems and spending billions on unnecessary bullshit... We're the only country that throws away food that can be saved for another day or given to someone else... I've been to many countries and I've never seen people waste as much food as I've seen in America... and before you think about disagreeing with this I want you to visit one of the local schools in your city and ask them what they do with their leftovers...
Thank GOD for their supportive attitude towards each other, especially his wife, because most women would have been tearing him down. He is a very fortunate man. Please pray for this family, they have the important things right........
Bella Darling I dated an Asian for three months and I was very good to her but she dumped me because I wouldn't pay for her College. I should have seen it coming because you text me about three times during that three months we're together telling me that I can't afford her. I found that an insult because I make really good money. 2.5 times what my friends and family make.
Bella Darling That's exactly True.In fact You know that sort of Reputation is more towards Black Women.And I'm even saying that's not Totally True.But it is in some cases.And it also can be applied to any Type of Women.But Women that are Asian or Afro Asiatic based Are actually more Home Grown Countryside Villager Types.But there is a small percentage of Them Who Street wise and are Vixen like in Nature.But like I that can be applied to any Type of Women.Bottom line is This Man is very very very Fortunate.Because You and I both know that had He been with Ole Keisha from Compton She would have been left His Black Ass.Because Most Black Women leave a Black Man for the Slightest Reasons.So the Whole Homeless thing wouldn't even have came about.
Me personally if I cant make it in a city where its too expensive I'd dip out and move elsewhere more affordable instead of putting my kids thru some shit like that.
@@rebeccaarnold9713 this is utter horseshit and i know this for a fact. I left and got an entry career immediately (I now make $60k) in an area where the cost of living is 1/2 what the bay area is. This was said because they don't want a mass exodus. Property values and rents go down where people no longer want to live. As well as tax money and economic activity. People in SFs high places dont want this.
It's really that simple. Its a trip how profound things can be obvious yet invisible until we unlock awareness. Want change? Then change. Keep getting the same result? Do something different. This environment aint working for you? Change your environment.
In San Francisco, software engineers are living in conversion vans even as they work to build our technological future. Housing is so expensive in San Francisco because wealthy foreign investors have relentlessly bid up real estate prices. Judge not lest ye be judged.
Yea but the people that work in Restaurants and stuff are somehow able to make rent. I've never met an engineer here that lives out of a vehicle whether it's because they want to or because they have to. I don't believe a word you say.
Karim Bennett I have a simple solution, LEAVE SAN FRANCISCO! If you're already living in the car, then you have nothing holding you back from leaving, if the man really has 2 jobs a weeks pay would supply gas to drive anywhere in the United states in search of work, there are jobs everywhere for people that want them right now.
Karim Bennett: A lot of prime real estate in Ca are owned by Chinese investors. It's awesome how Americans pour $ into China and their rich come back and jack up our real estate prices.
M D not really just watch the news about companies hiring on the B1 B2 Visa which gives foreign Personnel the right to come to America and take American jobs especially good jobs for Less pay. I just seen it today.
Worst part is that these investors pay no taxes (other than property taxes, but I'm talking about taxes on hoarding assets). Many other countries outright FORBID outsiders from owning any property, or if they allow it, tax them heavily so much that it becomes unfeasible to own anything unless you actually are actively living in it. America should do the same. Instead, the administration wants to heavily tax middle class citizens more as the solution.
I agree section 8 needs to end.. or at least this family should be able to get it.. the man works 2 jobs.. we need to have a country where working people can afford to live.
Stop thinking Section 8 means free, I was on for 3 yrs. my rent was 990.00 I paid all my own utilities, no food stamps, one job. I got a house through Habitat for Humanity. My mortgage is way less. With section 8, you pay the majority, at least in some parts of Louisiana.
I had a two bedroom apartment in the Oakland foothills for $850 in 2004; Along with my roommate we could afford this place working at Home Depot. The same place now will cost at least $2,100. Now I live in central California working as a nurse, and even on a nurses salary Its still very expensive to live in the bay. Prices this just shot up overnight. It's not even enough housing stock, landlords know this and, are able to ask for unreasonable amounts of money for rent.
djpioneer937 the city of Alameda is so ridiculous, Oakland is not far from becoming like it. every one I know moved to Antioch, Stockton area's. are you with Kaiser? nurses and trucker's can move anywhere in the States. high demanding fields.
I'm from California (born and raised here), so I can assure you it ain't easy living out here without a decent salary. With that being said, these folks have got to leave the Bay Area for the sake of their children's lives-the cost of living there or most of California is far more expensive than other states. I will never understand why anyone would want to live in California if they cannot afford it. Unfortunately, some folks don't realize the implications of relying on 'em government grants.
Quang Vu it takes a town to raise kids right not this take care of your own is the sickness of USA today keep make new house that needs more and more money to get is selfish and not care about other's
Just4me: Who's blaming the kids?.. it's just common sense, if you know damn well you're struggling and can't make ends meet and don't even have a house/apt to live in (hint hint: they were living with his mom) then they should not have kept on having kids. And because of their carelessness, these poor children have to suffer.
Sometimes life is going beautifully and then all of a sudden something happens out of your control! You don’t know if they have always been struggling! They could’ve lost their jobs due to staff downsizing etc! You don’t know enough to sit back and so quickly judge their entire situation. It’s easy to plop a one situation fits all to someone else’s situation but death, divorce, job loss, disability....those things DO HAPPEN.
Don't give up!!!!! This brought me to tears! It's so sad even when your own flesh and blood, just literally puts all family out in the street 😡. The dad, is not a dead beat dad, as stated on this video, he works 2 jobs, while trying not to lose himself in giving up completely. The mom loves her kids, You can see that in her eyes. If I had seen this family in a mall.. I wouldn't even think they were homeless. I lived in the Bay area since the 70's and it's so sad the rent, gas..and he'll buying food had skyrocketed out of control! 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
Tell me about it. The Entire San Francisco bay area is skyrocketing expensive as hell. I was about to move there when I got hired by United Airlines but declined. Just not worth it.
my nieces is getting 1100 a month she's homeless they I promise they are ok.ca is high with welfare, but high rent,,,still I do believe there ok.ssa people are homeless to.
I don't see how anyone can afford to have 4 kids in San Francisco. Most of his income is going to go toward supporting the 6 of them and not rent. It's like having a part-time job and being single. The sad thing is, it is probably cheaper for his wife not to work and take care of the kids, with the cost of daycare being so high. It would be pretty vicious for her to stick 4 kids with someone she knows without paying anything. Perhaps, I wouldn't judge him so harshly if he drove anything but a Ford Taurus. Those things break at least once a month, and they will be lucky if it lasts the week.
Mia Strong did you really have to bring a Ford Taurus into this? I’ve got a 1999 Ford Taurus (my profile picture) and she’s almost at 300,000 miles. I love this car and it’s been nothing but reliable.
Is a husband and wife supposed to never have sex because theyre poor? Thats they inly way to insure no pregnancy happens. Not everyone wants to risk dying or NEVER having more kids because they had an abortion. Seems cruel for one child to deserve to live because we have money and the other ti deserve to die because the parents dont. Had a couple as friends once decide to end a pregnacy because they couldnt afford the baby. Broke their hearts they wanted a baby girl hopefully and she got pregnant by fluke. The week after that the wife got a raise and the husband scratched 40k after taxes on a 2 dollar ticket. Drove the wife away from him because she went through the trama of aborting over money.
@@tyqueishahoward743 I know they are going to have sex but geesh in the end the kids are the ones who have to suffer I know they can least afford a box of condoms they just need to be a little more careful
Simple solution. If you can't afford the city....move to a state that's cheaper to live. Vegas has tons of hotel jobs and security jobs. Security guards can make $16.50/hr with Allied Barton.
My family lived in Azusa and Pasadena in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. We have never seen situations like this. Those with jobs always had a roof over their heads , I think. Now am seeing professionals living in their cars ... sad. Praying that the family will get a place to stay... 🙏🏻
i agree, even if they move to a small apartment somewhere cheaper, the can go with the kids an the dad can stay back just for a month or two in his 2 jobs so their not pennyless, whilst reaching out an looking for a new job. It takes time an hardship but would be worth it in the end 😢 anything is better than sleeping in your car with the kids
I swear if I had it like that of help get my man and his fam in a place and help him find more work. The girl is a trooper stay for stayin n w/ him. And when she called him a hero it seemed genuine. Dang. I don't know when this story aired but I hope things are better for them now
when I lost my job I took in lodgers to pay my mortgage. I managed to keep my two houses going with tenants and lodgers. Without sharing my home I would have lost them.
I am a landlord. Rents go up because insurance and property taxes go up every year. Also, many tenants leave damage to the home when they move out. One renter brought a dog into the house and ALL the carpeting had shit ground into it. The wood trim around the doors was chewed up and all of it had to be replaced. The cost of the damage exceeded the amount of all the rent that I collected from them. The security deposit didn’t even come close to paying for the damage. No insurance covers this. Add in the mortgage payments the landlord makes and you can see why rents are as high as they are. I didn’t even factor in the maintenance costs and my time and labor. P.S. Even the carpet padding had to be replaced because it was saturated with urine. You can’t wash that out.
I feel a tinge of remorse for them but IF SOMEONE is housing you (I.e you can't afford your own place even in that moment) DO NOT have 4 kids back to back in someone elses house???? hows that OK - a slip up of one is maybe OK but 4??? - wisdom my people - wisdom - don't breed if you never had your own place it's the thing that is sinking my continent Africa with poor people taking it upon themselves to fill the world - except you are in the USA, can't say you don't have an education or access to family planning like the people here so really you brought this up yourself as you don't mention ever having been living in your own place
i commend mrs. frost for sticking around. most women will leave for greener pastures when times get tough. mr. frost is a lucky man in spite of current circumstances. as long as they continue to stick together, they will be fine, no matter what.
Its called you move out of the bay area. So many people will not move to where the jobs are because they like a specific area. Just move out of California in general and move to a more affordable state
lifes not easy or fair. its all about the mighty dollar. getting very expensive to live and we will see more homeless people years to come. if. the rent keeps goinv up and jobs going away. govt needs to do something about this mess
Okay but are there jobs in Ohio that pay enough to afford those empty houses? Everyone keeps saying just move but you still need to live somewhere with a job you're qualified for to afford to live there too... IMO they need to break up tech corporations so they aren't all concentrated mainly on the west coast. It's turning into a nightmare and people who work in tech don't really have a choice but to be trapped in these areas. Look at what's happening to Austin, Seattle, and Portland now... These industries need to expand outside of the same 4 cities.
wow! this family deserves much better! at least the dad is working, my gosh , wtf? I know single people who don't work, got their kids taken away and they got free housing , food stamps the whole none yards
How about instead of recording them and asking questions, y'all should actually help this family out by doing a fundraiser. Eventually these kids are going to get bigger and taller. We need to help support this family so this family can be happy. May God Almighty bless this family rich in love.
Word to the wise. Kids are very expensive, much more than pets. I have a decent city job with benefits and pension and now my wife will enter the workforce very soon just in case. After I have my second child, I opted for a vasectomy. Shops permanently closed as far as I'm concerned. No more kids period. Again, kids need a lot of financial, emotional, mental, and physical resources. People need to make sure they can afford kids before having them.
They said he grew up there. They were living with her mother but she couldn't afford to have them living there anymore. He was two jobs but can't afford rent.
KC they grew up in the Bay Area, it use to be an affordable place. This place has many jobs but no type of affordable housing. If they leave the bay to go somewhere else, there is no guarantee that they'll find a job and will remain in the same predicament
Joe Mama I understand but they need to make that risk for their children... they need to rethink there options rather than wait for the city to change laws. Moving to Arizona or affordable states isn’t a bad thing if they carefully plan it
Wonderful children but what were they thinking having 4 kids. I wish I could have had a whole bunch of kids but shit man I only had one. Things are only going to get worse thanks to greed.
piero san giorgio you guys are funny. Maybe they had the kids before they ended up where they're at right now...things happen. the guy is working two job.
Family of 6? Why have that many? Even with both parents working for an ok quality of life even 2 kids are enough. If they were living with his mom why keep breeding? I have zero sympathy.
It's ridiculously expensive in the bay area. I have a good job in the bay area, and I commute 7 hours a day to/from work (longer if the traffic is particularly bad,) and I can't afford a studio apartment. (Even if I could, it would take all of my money and I wouldn't have money left over for savings, basic necessities, utilities, food, etc.) However, that being said, it would be a lot easier if they didn't have so many kids. (Seriously, if you can't afford kids, don't have them. It's unfair.) I can see if they had to move into their car extremely recently after they already had the kids, but according to the video, they were living with the mom's mother. That's hardly a situation where you should be popping out more kids because they obviously couldn't survive on their own as it was. The baby is extremely young and likely conceived after they were already car-bound. It's irresponsible. Plain and simple. I don't feel remorse for the parents at all, but only for their kids. There are other places to live than the bay area, especially if you don't have a particularly lucrative career.
Lakota828 you may have a good job but like you said if it's not lucrative career there are other places to live. You kinda contradicted yourself there. Also if you are commuting 7 hours a day you prob live in Sacramento or something it may be more expensive to live closer but if you work an 8 hour day you may as well cut your hourly wage in half because your commute doubles your work day. If all your money went toward an apartment where you work you could spend that other 7 hours on your own business increasing your income or fapping.
Jesse Dutton I'm commuted to the Bay Area for years. You can't cut your pay in half because you commute. Even with the commute, you are ahead money wise.
Armando Flores I'm not sure how your comment relates to the video Many people walked to where they needed to get in those days. Even during my mother's time people walked almost every where they needed to go. I am not understanding the point you or trying to make.
her quote about her husband "he goes beyond to make sure we're okay," good attitude, but no he's not =/ or you'd be okay, you're not okay, you are suffering... i feel bad.
The world is getting sadder unloving and unkind! Terrible to see a family living like this. I remember when my Dad was out of work for only two weeks he cried because he couldn't provide for his family so I can understand how the father is feeling. He wants adequate housing for his family. I hope and pray that they are in a nice home.
You could work two jobs and still be homeless. these politicians needs to be ashamed of themselves. They have enough money to build more housing for the poor and middle class.
As a single mother I can't even get support from the government on 12 bucks an hour. I'm a landscaper and about to be living in my car with my kid. Because I don't want to have to be with a man to get by and in today's world this is how most women get stuck in abusive relationships. I hope this family is well and good now. Bless.
+sha370z TV shows and movies can be misleading. They portray what they want regardless of reality. Our reality in many cities is the people who work in them cannot afford to live in them. This is especially true of San Fran, LA, Seattle, and a few others.
Why do people that can't afford to have children are the ones that keep having as many as possible??? To get benefits perhaps?? In most places each person gets Food Stamps of $200 every month!! So a family of 6 gets $1200 a month in benefits which they often times sell!!
I will contact him with someone that can help him help himself. You have to step out on faith like I did five years ago. You can find you an apt and do everything over the phone. I speak comfort, strength, provision, and protection over your family. You will overcome this keep your head up God is with you.
4 babies, which means 3 times on purpose, didn’t learn after the first one. 2 jobs, but that could mean 2 part time jobs, and no job for mom. minimum wage $10 full time is 1600 a month, add a little welfare, food stamps and medi-cal, and it’s totally doable. from experience, with a few exceptions, everyone is exactly where they deserve to be in life.
Thank you for bringing this to the forefront so many of us are living in our cars and trying harder. And we're working not staying at a park all day waiting for the freebies. All these people come from who knows where. Then we're dumped on with lots of people fresh out of jail.
This man is working two jobs and people still have to be negative? There are plenty of people living it up in Cali with 0 jobs, yet this family is an issue?? People, get your shit straight!!!
Just Me thank you. everybody is saying why they have 4kids. like they could see their future and still decide to be homeless. everyone have their own struggles. Just because you're not in same situation doesn't mean they asked for the life they have now.
How about buying a Van or motor home? No rent, utility bills - 1 bedroom ? near $2,000 saved? @ 2 jobs= near working at $10. minimum wage - 60 hrs = $600 week $2400 a month? If numbers , Math not correct - can someone figure better? Free food, clothes everywhere?
Hey Huda I have tape can I help you put it back in place you shouldn't feel sorry for them it's there fault not yours mine or the government they had kids he problably never had a job until now when they are struggling sad but the truth
I salute this man! He loves his kids and is doing his best to keep this family intact. Hopefully they can get into an affordable place soon. Out there is no place for kids.
Rent here in Massachusetts for a 2 bdrm is going for 950 to 1200.00 a month absolutely ridiculous plus credit check and be able to afford the rent three times the amount per month some thing needs to be done there’s going to be more and more homeless ppl it’s just not right
Sherrie Lynn wow your rents are so cheap!!! Here in the Bay Area California a 2 bedroom is easily averaging between $3500-5000 a month. Oh to be in Massachusetts or another boondocks state.
Update? How about Rep. Pelosi reaching out to help them since she is House Majority Leader representing San Francisco. How about Mayor Breed taking action?
