today cbyb and I stopped by the pope squat, we talked to the security guard who said they had security there 24 hours a day and he was getting paid more than 10hr. So basically up to this point there has been a min of $57, 600 spent to prevent homeless people from having homes. cbyb said that at first they had two gaurds and they are making more than $10 so we know that the cost is much higher than that. That same money can be used to ensure safe affordable housing for many people. It's insane the measures that are taken to prevent the poor from having homes.
