Home to me

Me and my family used to live in Vancouver. It’s a great place and all, but we just could not afford a house, so we lived in a condo. It was nice, warm and bright but it was also small. Our living room was in our kitchen and it was about the size of a large classroom. For a family of four that is not a lot of room. My brother and I are also growing kids so at some point it would get a little small. If you had a family of six or ten then what would you do? When I was six my family and I moved from Vancouver to Kitchener Ontario. In those days the housing in Kitchener was a way better price. Now if we were a family searching for a house could we find one? I think that now it would take a lot of searching to find a new one, and if they did could they afford it? When I think of home I think about my house in Kitchener. I think of the warmth of the bed I sleep in and the house that shelters me. Other people might think differently. Some people might sleep in an apartment or on the street but everybody has a home.Even if it is not a comfortable house or a safe house. I agree that the habitat of humanity is a good thing. but it does not solve all the problems in the world.
