Francisco (right) is sleeping in that box tonight. Jose (left) has lived outside in NYC for 12 years. I spent about an hour talking to my new friends as they set up their beds for the night. It messes me up that people have no choice but to sleep in a box! A FUCKING BOX!

Our 2021 research shows we must challenge NIMBY thinking. Too many people support housing and shelter projects in general but oppose them near their own homes. We must all be willing to welcome low-income housing in our own neighborhoods. invisiblepeople.tv/research/…
