Homeless San Jose State Professor Forced To Live In Her Car

[CaptainObvious]

You make incessant sweeping statements but your brain can only keep track of them in one direction? So about San Jose, "a center for socialism". My older brother spent usually three months of the year in that general area for work for the past decade.

San Jose is an expensive place to live because of market forces that have made it impossible for normal incomes to live there as adults with their own space. Many tech companies provide one bedroom apartments as part of the job package simply because the rent would be higher than their entire salary. $3500-4000 a month is what these places cost in convenient range of work.

Many rich cities have a problem now where the menial workers, cleaners, store workers etc. can't live within an ass' roar from work which is causing very practical problems. Similar is happening with low level tech workers. Like any industry high tech has plenty of office based but basically McDonalds entry level work.

Is this what you consider making the area a center of 'socialism'?

True enough, but California is staunchly democratic with the exception of Orange County, and the further north you go in the state, the further left they go politically. What I'm saying is that if the left was true to their beliefs then they would form a collective in these over priced areas so that the "help" could afford to live there.
The article referenced stated she could not afford the 2K a month for rent. Hell, no doubt any number of wealthy leftists in the area will spend more than that on wine with dinner this weekend. There should be no reason that a college professor be living in her car with so many rich liberals living within a stones throw of her car.
Seems they're all for redistributing everyone else's wealth, but holding on to theirs with a firm grip when it comes to helping their fellows.

I'm done with you. The advice, don't argue with an old fool, they will beat you with experience comes to mind whenever I read your miserable straw man scratching.

Your generation's right wing need to understand your place better and will by 2030. Be thankful the kids are not as rotten as you are to them.

The current political spectrum has little to do with socialism. Both sides have their own causes with respect to redistributing wealth.

It is entirely about social issues now: inclusion vs exclusion. The left wants inclusion and diversity. The right wants exclusion and conformity.
