Dear Editor,
Just a short note to thank you very much for writing the above-noted article.
I think it is an amazing piece of journalism (and touching), and on an important, but woefully under-reported subject.
Here's hoping that efforts such as yours increase the discussion about the lack of affordable housing, including weighing the pros and cons about guaranteed incomes (something I strongly support) as a partial solution.
We simply can't sit and wait for elected officials to do anything about the crisis, unless they know that it is an important issue among the electorate.
