closed starter ( based on ) for @caeruleums​ ! 

     “oh, come on!” delfina laughs, raising the glass of wine to her lips and taking a small sip of the dark red liquid. this is her second glass, and she’s starting to feel pleasantly buzzed from the alcohol coursing through her system. it’s making her a bit bold. a bit reckless. a bit more fun to be around. “don’t you think it could be fun?” tucking a few strands of chocolate brown hair behind her ear, her eyes are alight with mischief as she leans forward conspiratorially. “after all, what’s a little homemade porn between besties?” maybe sober del would be a bit coyer about her suggestion. but tipsy del? she lacks all inhibition and shame. when there’s something she wants, she goes for it. and she wants this. desperately.

Aspiration Point - A Prosperity Challenge

It’s a new year and I am once again starting a new Sims 2 challenge! I’ve tried (with varying levels of success) too many BACC recently, and wanted something rotational without too much restriction - so a Prosperity Challenge it is!

Rules can be found here - https://www.boolprop.net/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=62

But the TLDR version is that you roll random households to found your hood and play each household for the same amount of time until the birth of the 5th generation.

SimCity Housing Association is proud to present Aspiration Point, a new housing project south of the city with plenty of space to expand and grow. 4 families have uprooted their lives in the city to move to Aspiration Point, seeking more space, home ownership, or just seeking a new start.

The Armstrong Family

Bradley Armstrong (left) and his little sister, Claudia Armstrong (right), are seeking a new life in Aspiration Point after their mother sadly passed away. While they are both only teenagers, Bradley was able to sell the SimCity Housing Association on letting them move, particularly after he mentioned money from his mother’s estate!

The Noel Family

Luc Noel (top right) moved in with his wayward older brother Frank Noel (top left) to make sure he was taken care of now they were both getting on in years. Frank never did settle down and start a family, but Luc did. Luc was not expecting the sad accident that left his grandkids, Emeline Noel (middle), Matthias Noel (bottom left) and Roland Noel (bottom right) without their parents. Now as well as taking care of his deadbeat brother, Luc is trying to raise his three grandchildren. With the unexpected growth of his household, he packed up and moved them out to Aspiration Point.

The Martinez Family

Aaron Martinez (top left) and Maria Martinez (top right) were high school sweethearts who had their oldest daughter Delfina Martinez (bottom right) in their final year of high school. This didn’t stop them both from going to university and getting good degrees, however! They did wait until after graduation to have middle child Micaela Martinez (bottom left), and little Soraya Martinez (bottom middle) followed not long after. Now they’ve decided to move to Aspiration Point to have a bit more room, and are considering expanding their family even more. SimCity Housing Association was very keen to add university educated sims to the Aspiration Point community!

The Davis Family

Islay Davis and her wife Fenella Davis, adopted their son Blair Davis when he was only a toddler, and have cherished giving him a good life and education as he’s grown into an adult. They were distraught when Blair’s wife walked out on him for another man from Champs Les Sims, leaving Blair to raise their 2 year old son, Micheil Davis. With nothing but heartbreak and reminders left for Blair in the city, Islay and Fenella moved the family out to Aspiration Point for a fresh start for Blair and Micheil, and maybe even an easy retirement for the two of them.

Fighting 'Quiet Hunger' in Every Philadelphia Zip Code

This article is part of the High Cost of Being Broke series, produced by Broke in Philly, a collaborative reporting project on economic justice. To see all the #HighCost stories, please visit the Broke in Philly site.

Every week, 70-year-old Delfina Martinez climbs into her daughter's minivan and the two women hunt for North Philadelphia's cheapest groceries.

Both agree that The Richmond Shops IGA on Aramingo Avenue provides the best bargain after factoring time in traffic, cost of gas and quality of food.

Wherever there is a deal, Martinez and her daughter said they'll find it. This is the high cost of being broke: The ingenuity and time required to find every possible discount that could make the difference between enjoying a meal and paying the bills.

Martinez estimates that she spends about $160 each trip to feed herself, her two granddaughters, three dogs and a cat. Her Social Security benefits barely cover her bills, so Martinez works as a seamstress on the side, she said.

“Sometimes it’s … hard to spend money,” Martinez told NBC10. “The food is a little expensive, but you have to eat. I don’t have much left over.”

In constant fear of foreclosure, Martinez checks in regularly with utility companies when she can’t pay a bill on time and works with the city to pay off property taxes, she said. Martinez worries that she will lose her home if she doesn't keep officials informed of her precarious income.

“It’s poor people living in the neighborhood and they’re trying to bring in the rich people,” Martinez said.

Her 47-year-old daughter, Marlene Cruz, pulls up the minivan and loads the three shopping carts of food accumulated between the two women. Both Martinez and Cruz live closer to Lehigh Avenue, but they drive down to the IGA off York Street because “the deli meat is better.”

“I’ve been seeing the prices go up for quite a while," Cruz said, "but I’ve shopped everywhere from Whole Foods to Trader Joe’s to Shop Rite to this store.” 

The national monthly average cost of a "thrifty meal plan" for a family of four is $692 and $866 for a "low cost meal plan", according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Cruz spends roughly $360 every week-and-a-half for herself, her husband and their youngest daughter, she said.

As the mother and daughter team know well, food costs can vary widely depending on where you shop and when. Nowhere in Philadelphia is the disparate cost of food more evident than in this zip code, 19125, where Fishtown's trendy restaurants give way to Kensington's homeless encampments in a mere span of blocks. 

Between those extremes live thousands of residents hovering in the midst of food insecurity. They are not necessarily unemployed or starving, but some days they are hungry.

Food insecurity plagues more than 20 percent of people in Philadelphia and more than 1.6 million people across Pennsylvania, according to a 2017 report by Feeding America. The hardest-hit local neighborhoods include West Philly, Southwest Philly, North Philly and portions of the Northeast, where the food insecurity rate is more than 30 percent, according to the report.

But even in newly hip areas, such as Fishtown, food insecurity rates do not drop below 10 percent.

“A lot of people don't want to admit they are hungry or need assistance,” Stefanie Arck-Baynes from Philabundance said. “It’s a quiet hunger.”

Martinez and Cruz embark on the kind of bargain hunting that is only accessible to those who own a car. But just several blocks away from IGA, Joan Righder is limited to walking.

Righder, who turns 82 years old this week, considers herself lucky to live a few doors down from Garrison’s Market near York and Memphis streets. Like many people her age, Righder lives on a fixed income and puts away most of her monthly Social Security check to pay bills. She purchased her home 40 years ago for $20,000 at a foreclosure sale and is thankful for that security, at least.

Still, Righder relies on Garrison’s to feed her.

“They don’t charge me much because they know I don’t have a lot of money,” she said. “I’ll never starve because, whatever I need, they always got me.”

Garrison’s is the kind of place where customers on foot can sometimes hitch a ride home with Greg Garrison or his son, Brett. The corner market has been in their family since 1915 when their forebearer, Bill, bought it from the previous owner. Bill Garrison had been taken out of Horatio B. Hackett School at the age of 10 to help feed his family. By the time he was 19, he was a shop owner.

When 34-year-old Brett Garrison started pitching in at his family’s store, most meals were cooked at home and small markets dotted the largely working class Fishtown neighborhood, he said. Many shops, Garrison’s included, offered credit lines so customers could settle food tabs on payday instead of having to choose between bills and dinner.

These days, however, habits and incomes have changed, he said. Garrison estimates that around 20 percent of his customers use their monthly SNAP benefits at the store.

“It’s like anything - you really get what you pay for,” he said. “You can buy [unhealthy food] for cheap, but it comes with long-term costs, like ... getting diabetes.”

Researchers largely agree.

The 2014 Hunger in America national survey by Feeding America found that people facing food insecurity also have higher instances of chronic diseases caused by unhealthy diets.

More than 55 percent of households who use Feeding America food banks reported having at least one family member with high blood pressure while 33 percent had at least one member with diabetes, according to the report. The survey also found that of the families helped annually by Feeding America agencies, approximately 80 percent turned to “inexpensive, unhealthy food to feed their family.”

By contrast, just 23 percent of families reported growing their own vegetables to save on food cost.

“A lot of people, when they think food insecure, they think skinny,” Sara Goldfrick-Rab, a professor of higher education policy and sociology at Temple University, said. “But they miss that food insecurity is associated with obesity. Your body changes when you’re not getting what you need.”

Recent research shows that hunger can also negatively impact cognitive and biological functions, especially in young people. Hungry students report difficulty focusing at school and staying awake in class.

But food insecurity is much less obvious and should not be confused with hunger, Goldrick-Rab added.

“If you skip breakfast every day, you get used to it. When you get used to being hungry, maybe you can function on some reasonable level,” she said.

For years, Philabundance has attempted to quell some of the city's food needs. It is the largest hunger relief agency in the Delaware Valley and partners with some 350 organizations across nine counties. Their efforts include food pantries, meal deliveries and produce distribution. Roughly 90,000 people are fed each week through Philabundance agencies, according to Arck-Baynes.

Some of those people are in unexpected neighborhoods, like Ardmore.

"You have no idea what's inside those homes … especially people who fall ill, who get divorced, who have a medical emergency,” she said. “It’s in every zip code.”

One of Philabundance’s partners is just down the street from Joan Righder’s home, but she gets most of her food either from Garrison’s or Fishtown Market down the block. Neither establishment is known for selling fresh produce, however.

Her diet largely consists of milk, cereal, cakes and beef, she said.

“They’re good to me,” Righder said of Garrison’s deli. “If I need something, they say ‘Here. Just take it.’”

      “ YOU SLEPT WITH THEM ? ” DELFINA’S question is delivered in a shrill, piercing shriek as she jabs a finger in kashton’s direction. “ i knew it ! i knew you liked them. ” her tone turns triumphant and she crosses her arms over her chest and affects a standoffish pose. “ i can’t believe you. ” actually, she can. she’s noticed that the sexual tension between her boyfriend and their friend has been building for weeks now, but hasn’t said anything about it. mostly because the same sexual tension has been building between her and the very same friend for equally as long. so, she’s not shocked. and despite her reaction, she’s not all that mad about it, either. intrigued, maybe. but not mad. 

      “ I SLEPT WITH THEM ? ” KASHTON questions, arching an eyebrow as an amused smile plays on his lips. “ what about you, del ? ” he, too, isn’t surprised to hear that his girlfriend and their friend have been hooking up behind his back. he’s noticed the looks they share. the way they brush against each other when they think he isn’t paying attention. in all honesty, he’s only surprised that it’s taken this long to come out. “ we’re both sleeping with them. i fail to see how that’s a problem. ” he tilts his head to the side and glances from their friend to his girlfriend and back again. “ actually, it’s not a problem at all. it’s an opportunity. ”
