mekkaokereke, 1 month ago Stealing is wrong. Embezzlement is wrong. But can I say something? https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/03/28/ex-caltrain-employee-contractor-charged-with-building-secret-homes-at-train-stations/ A Caltrain Deputy Director makes ~$175K/year. Take home check: ~$8.5K. Median rent in Burlingame is $2.8K / month. Median home is $2.7 million dollars. 🤯 https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/burlingame-ca/ https://www.zillow.com/home-values/17235/burlingame-ca/ If this dude lived out of his car or an RV, no one would bat an eye. Yes, he stole from taxpayers, which is wrong. But he was mainly stealing a place to live. He's part of the "working homeless."
