Reply #40: Friend in DHS used to want to just buy clients a car

[Patiod]

He worked for Delaware's welfare dept, and he said there were quite a few of his clients that he could have gotten out of poverty and off welfare if he could have just helped them purchase reliable transportation, because there was little or no public transit in sLower Delaware. But that requires getting a license (and clearing any tickets or past problems), buying the car, paying the registration, buying insurance - not a cheap propostition.

Thank God for public transportation, however underfunded. My SO and I have only one car, and I don't know what we'd do if we needed two. I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of the station....
