Hardship Makes a New Home in the Suburbs

國人愛房地產或海外投資,
加州是很多移民的天堂,
氣候,人都很不錯, 於是很多人就想試試
但是要作工課,如東洛杉磯市如果開車經過就可以,
看到很多人討錢,舉牌告訴他們的故事:
放無薪假,家裡有小孩沒飯吃等等
幾年前當地政府才說要對貧窮宣戰,事過幾年了
還是沒有成效….

Both she and her husband, Sebastian Plancarte, lost their jobs nearly three years ago. “Each time I see them I thank God for what we do have. We used to have a different kind of life, where we had nice things and did nice things. Now we just worry.”
