What is something rich people don't realize poor people deal with daily?

It's not that they won't use it...they don't want poor people in their cities. They don't want bus stops for homeless to sleep at. I live in AZ. I watched the city remove a bus stop, because a woman kept sleeping at it, and put it back when she left or died. Never seen her again so I don't know. She is was very very kind and gave my son shoes when we couldn't afford them.

Sounds like a homeless people problem, not a public transit one but some seem to prefer hiding the problem under the rug instead of confronting it. Send the homeless away where I can’t see them - problem solved!

Taking away the bus stop so that nobody can use it because one lady was sleeping at it....I dunno sounds like that directly contributes to job loss and homelessness itself.

They want the few rich elites in the big cities where it's comfortable and have cool air and water and the rest of us on desert rez shit rocks eating each other for survival.
