Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Absolutely agree with you, but, unpopular opinion probably, I also don't want a lazy ass who can't or doesn't want to get a job to be homeless. Like, I don't care how much of an asshole you are and how many drugs you take and that you don't care to hold a job, I still want you to have shelter, food, and basic necessities. Let alone kids of these people.

Remember how in the 90s "The Dude" Big Lebowski, the laziest man in Los Angeles County, was still able to afford his rent. That wasn't even considered unrealistic back then either, like a few mid-20 year olds could afford a loft in Manhatten off a coffeeshop salary (FRIENDS) the only complaint of realism was their loft was too big.

That purple apartment was rent controlled because officially Monica's Nana was still living in it and the janitor knew and used this as leverage to make Joey dance with him so that he could impress a girl. Iirc...

I mean that's not the point but I just wanted to add this. You're of course correct that times have changed dramatically.
