As a disabled person I don't deserve a roof over my head? Thank you democrats. What about the homeless people who have jobs but can't afford housing? Thank you democrats. What about "EVERYONE DESERVES HOUSING, HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT"? Thank you democrats, for NOTHING.

Also, please note, Senator Harris,
@PrincesssBob is a constituent of yours. I don't care what her race is, or what her politics are, her family deserves a roof over their head. They used to live in a tent, for Pete's sake! -
