It has been said that a man will fight for his home, but it is hard to induce a man to fight willingly for his landlord or his boarding house.
And Billy Sunday has said, A man living in a rented house and singing Home, Sweet Home is merely kidding himself and serenading his landlord.
A noted sociologist has said, If every family had a home, with lawn and flowers and trees in front and a garden in the rear, crime wold disappear in two generations.
Dark, crowded, unsatisfactory housing conditions are among the most prolific sources and causes of disease, insanity, immorality and crime, both in town and country areas. Homelessness constitutes a most serious menace to society.
