Downtown NY? Why would anyone want to make that their destination? Also, why does one have to be on the street? They can get a job.

I think you assume it’s Texas or the Streets, which is just funny

Well someone who can't afford a home out of state would presumably need somewhere to live until then, and there tend to be better resources in cities than in rural towns.

They can get a job.

Clearly you've never needed to search for one. Consider yourself lucky.

I still don't see your attempt to prove this wrong. Lets see you make a cross-state move to somewhere better with almost nothing in the bank. Show us all how it's done. I'm the random internet stranger, and I'm now issuing you the same challenge you gave to them.
