Reply #5: If this is what you think is happening, why do you think so many people are standing by...

... quietly watching, quietly accepting what is happening?

We have a severe lack of affordable (I mean REALLY affordable) housing in this country. HUD's low-income housing budget has been consistently slashed for decades. Homelessness has increased drastically over those same decades. Yet who speaks out? Who really cares about the people living on the streets, living in their cars, living in condemned & abandoned buildings? How can so many people close their eyes to what's going on right in front of them? Or ARE they speaking out and demanding that these people be driven out of their neighborhoods, their cities, their business districts? Have so many people lost their souls?
