In the 1970's the government came up with an amazing plan wherein they'd liberate and vacate the sick institutions and mainstream the occupants into society.They would follow-up with half-way houses,monoriting,meds,and council.
Great plan.
Only for some unknown reason the gov didn't follow-up.
Well that was a while ago,and we have new generations of homeless.And things have gotten harder.
New auto used to cost $2000.You could grocery shop for a family of 7 with $25.
Sure,we (some of us)are paid more,but it takes more.There was a time when "mortgage"was a dirty word.Now rent is as much or more than a mortgage,but its' harder to qualify for a mortgage.
A family burned-out of an apartment.Can't get up the one month security deposit,the escrow,one month rent advance or cost of moving van.
A doctor hit with malpractice suits-right or wrong-can't maintain his/her level of living.
Someone with medical expense living one paycheck from the street experiences an emergency.
Car repairs.Damn car repairs.
People are insensitive to these people.

And this cell looks downright cozy.

Interesting bars

Nowadays the funeral parlor has three choices in caskets : (expensive) pine crate,very expensive casket, and 'reach for the stars'
People feel obligated(at an inconvenient time) to give thier loved one the best,its' used for a few hours,then put in the ground.

P.S. (as large and interesting Greenmount is ,and besides being my fav, it has but a single small mausoleum at the front entrance drive)

Could you imagine YOU being the one in that cell.
