Worth reading this thread from this week’s Liverpool Echo. What you don’t see around the regenerated and tourist attracting docks area is the vast extent of poverty in and around the city, particularly as you get out of the centre. Its latest manifestation is homelessness but deep poverty has lasted through two generations in communities that get by on minimum wage and now gig economy earnings and whose homelessness is disguised by multi generational living and overcrowding.
