Moving at night makes me think that he was skipping out on rent. He seemed slow, but I believe he was working the welfare system. His girlfriend was really slow. And her boobs hung down to her knees. The houses they lived in were torn down not long after he moved. I don't know what happened to the rest of the people on that block.
A lot of roadblocks are caused by thoughts of inadequacy and lack of initiative. Many people wait on someone else to provide for them, rather than go get things for themselves. I always went after things I wanted, in spite of being an Aspie (although I didn't know what it was at the time). I would research and ask others what I needed to do, and then I took their advice. I had zero money in school, but the guidance counsellor told me step by step exactly what I needed to do to get into college, even down to telling to get my photo done at a studio for my college application.
I'm old and have been through a lot. I hate when someone rejects every single bit of advice I offer.
I'm gonna stop here and ask why you want to make this whole point based around your assumption of a situation of which you don't even have all the information?
A lot of roadblocks are also caused by systemic injustices keeping them out of getting the same privileges you did as well. It's good that you were able to make it out. It's not so easy for everyone, especially 40 years later.

Boo hoo, sorry to hear that. It's a shame when you don't feel heard, but I'm letting you know that for many people your advice is not so easy to follow. Best you can do is either ignore it or learn why it is that people are rejecting your advice. It's possibly because that it's bad advice when applied to today's world
What "systemic injustices"? I never had any "privileges" at all. Have you actually tried to do anything I mentioned? I never said it would be easy. It will be hard, but it's possible, even today. I've looked at prices and done the math. I bet you've done neither. You can either try or give up. Making excuses is a waste.
I mean, the fact that you don't experience those systemic injustices alone mean that you've had the privilege to not have to worry about them.
I haven't tried to do the things you've mentioned, because I'm fairly well off myself. But not everyone has the resources that I did to get here. I also know people who can do all the right things and still have gotten beaten down.

This is my last word on the matter.
