4. I am so grateful I still have a roof over my head

I'm holding onto it with everything I've got. I feel I don't deserve it, I'm incredibly lucky to have it. Everyone around me is being pushed out. It's like watching a dystopian nightmare in slow motion: the kind where people who are still comfortably housed will just smile and nod and think you are exaggerating things if you bring it up.

The really sad part about the Bay Area is this place is rolling in money. We could institute mincome here if we wanted to! But people have their eyes on the "global" picture here and could care less about what is happening to the people around them.
