Circumstances change and people have to adapt. Looking down on someone doesn't do either of you any good. A couple years ago friends were living in a rental property and doing very well. The property owner passed and the inheritors got a good lawyer and our friends lease was nullified and they were suddenly on the street.
Two things happened, the property next door to where they were renting was offered to them rent free for one year for them, their pets, their motorhome and their chickens. They lived that way until recently when another beautiful soul offered them the use of a one bedroom guesthouse located behind their barn on their farm. The couple has been living there ever since.
We live in a mostly rural area on Vancouver Island where this happened. I wonder at what reception their plight would have received in major cities?
