I have to agree with most people...it certainly is a tough decision, and you shouldn't even have to make it. Doesn't the apartment have managers that could kick the homeless out? I guess if I was in that situation, I would first have to know if the homeless have ever hurt anyone or stolen anything or broken into apartments. And then see if there was anyway at all to make them stay away from my apartment. If not, I would definately move...I don't like seeing strangers around my home or car just sitting around (which happens sometimes) its unsafe. I have to feel very comfortable in my home, so I would most likely find a way to come up with that money and move that way you won't have to be scared when you should be at peace in your home.

I hope you can make the right decision that works for you
