Mostly because there is round the clock indoor construction noises.  Although the landlord said she would take certain steps it never happened. 

I could move but the chances of that raising my quality of life are next to naught.

"Difficulty comprehending my Medicare statement"

No affordable housing and the high cost to society

My understanding of the medicare bill is that the 2 weeks that I stayed in the hospital because i had no shelter cost Medicare 13,000 big ones.  This is nearly double my annual earnings!
