A lad told me today that he’ll make a facebook account just to connect with me, gave me the address of the place he’s couch surfing at and told me to come over anytime. He said “because you treat me like a human.”

I’ve gotten in trouble at a few jobs for talking with poor people rather than just shuffling them through.
It helps that I have to walk through the hood frequently.
Chomsky spoke a little about this and i’ve heard this on the street. Crime is a major problems for the poor and not a problem for the rich/middleclass. The ‘rich’ live in gated communities in suburbs far away from the poor. The poor also live in (over)crowded houses with complete strangers (rooming houses) making theft inside those households rampant. But yeah homeless ppl have told me when they’ve been in shelters/camps there has been a lot of theft too
