Other peoples' buying activity is not the reason you're homeless.

/someone who has been homeless and has also bought a home.

For sure it’s not the only reason, but it’s a reason I can’t afford to rent anywhere since Covid for sure.

By the way, I’m homeless because I have a serious mental illness. Not all of us are equipped to jump back in the workforce.

I understand and sympathize. And I'm sorry to guess correctly that it would be mental illness. I still think there's some misplaced blame going on here.

I can’t blame myself. I am doing everything possible. I used to be able to afford a rental. I did nothing different. So where is the blame?
