Unemployment rate increases in Jacksonville
Many people having homes worry about their insurance rates. Homeless people worry more about the number of jobs available.
I've had the chance of speaking to someone this evening in northern New England, part of a couple preparing to migrate back here after attempting to locate work up the Eastern Seaboard.
Their story really hit me. The wife has multiple physical illnesses, the husband works whatever he can. Living in hotel rooms, they're finding; along with about 30 other families; the property owner sold off and they have to move within a few weeks, if that.
It's all about affordable housing. Homeless shelters don't have room for the migrating masses the next four years will be bringing further into Florida.
Tent cities will eventually be the way to go. Funnel the funds to central locations, and bring satellite services on laptops to the masses.
Imagine the amount that could be done just with the electric bills saved?

I know it's devastating. I am in California and affordable housing is tough here too.
Picking that up as well from a friend in Seattle up north from you.
One family is relocating all the way to Florida actually due to Boeing and Microsoft layoffs occurring/impending at the moment.
