I grew up In an environment where having food stamps public housing and section 8 or other government programs was the norm. however, now my family and I live in Coral Springs fl, which is consider an upper middle class neighborhood. Anytime I go back to those neighborhoods and see those that are still left that I can consider friends there’s always this look, or a sarcastic comment or something.Anyway, the point!
