#5> A couple months ago, I found that particular bridge was next to an office building inhabited by some of my old colleagues. A start-up I had been a part of in New York. Where I was the first employee. I had owned equity. They had eventually sold for $350 million.
It is depressing easy to have this happen and even worse how many people are convinced it could never be them.

He explicitly writes that he did not do drugs or alcohol.
It would seem like it is some kind of felony charges that are the cause. Whatever they were.
But all in all - the downside risk is huge in the US.

#10Not a worse place to be homeless, except maybe Portland or Seattle.
Obviously more to this story when someones support network has collapsed to this degree, but at the same time people don't have great support networks anymore =/
