English paper

America is among the most powerful and wealthy countries around the globe. In that vein, cases of poverty are expected to be minimal, and that is not the actual case at all. The articles point out that the cause of poverty is not necessarily attributed to low wages and joblessness. However, the rate of exploitation in a country breeds and increases the levels of poverty among its citizens. In America, it has been noted that the income rise triggers an increase in housing charges. These are exploitative policies that arise due to poor governance and accounts for the routine cases of eviction in the U.S with low-income families being the profoundly affected group. Some landlords such as Tobin adopted exploitative measures which enabled them to purchase trailers at low price from poor people and later evict them. At this point, it is essential to note that no progress is realized in a country if an increase in income triggers an equal rise in housing charges.

Poverty should not be taken as an accident but is instead a consequence of poor governance and ignorance. Additionally, considering the case of Larraine, the article holds that the levels of poverty were complicated by issues such domestic violence as well as combating the rising cases of drug addiction particularly for those people living in trailers. To counter such effects, policies should be in place to ensure that landlord renting houses to poor people charge relatively lower prices. However, pushed by their greed and demand for high profits such landlords end up costing high rental rates to the vulnerable groups of people living in the city. As a result, the overall level of poverty escalates drastically.

The article also notes that exploitation is not only experienced in housing sector but also in essentials such as foodstuffs. People working as attendants in grocery stores raise their prices because they are aware that low-income families cannot afford transport fees that can enable them to seek cheaper alternatives elsewhere. The prevailing norm that rich peoples adapt to extract more money from the poor has deterred the overall attempts of ensuring economic stability in a country. A measure that will provide for expansion of current housing program will help to counter the adverse effects that are caused by eviction.

Given the various plights associated with evictions in America, several measures as well as policies ought to be put in place and implemented effectively. Provision of a national affordable housing program will serve to counter rising levels of poverty in the society. Other measures like setting up of a health initiative plan, community programs, as well venturing into various capital investments programs serve to alleviate the levels of poverty in the society efficiently. Lastly, investing in activities that serve to exploit the various available resources in a country leads to the general improvement of the economic stability.
