20. I do understand the high cost of living in places like NYC - but
the article says he had to ride the train for 90 minutes to get to NYC to walk with the sandwich sign. Is NYC that big that one would ride 90 minutes on the train and still live someplace that's outrageous for a shoebox apartment? I honestly don't know.

I also know a disabled wife on 15 medications is likely eligible for SSDI and Medicare - I have no doubt she's been expensive and with his high wage may have seen no reason to apply for government help. Now that circumstances are changed she may have to go that route. Unfortunately - but thankfully it exists.
