You have a disparaging attitude w/o basis.

I am over 200% below the poverty line. I've lived in poverty stricken neighborhoods most of my 50+ years on the planet.

You can rest easy, there isn't a boat in site. There's a couple RVs'. Those people are homeless. I've seen a few old school beemers. But not 50K-70K Beemers. 

There will always be someone who falls through the cracks. Most do not.

Sleep easy knowing that you have to show proof you are below the poverty line. 

I'm not sure how cost effective it is to "make the parents pay". I'm not sure it really helps anyone.
