It seems that she has other options if she is willing to move away from Santa Monica. Her social security goes with her anywhere, and there are other more affordable places where she can make 8 bucks an hour. She could also consider living in senior housing that has a lower rent – I think her biggest barrier is insisting on staying in Santa Monica – is she still hoping for the glamour and perceived riches of that location? It is a sad story, and I believe a lot of lives will have been temporarily ruined by the greed of the entire system that caused this, but I don’t feel as sorry for this person because I do believe she has other options then living in her car.
