[@JeSsLoVeZ1817]

[@brianjackson5147]

You're right. He hasn't protested nor cut up. He has been fully compliant the whole way. Even through the loss of his brother. Much respect.

[@angie4now438]

Wow, that is spot on. 100% accurate.

[@kompshi]

@CurlyG65 haha well said.........i agree......he probabily would have not lost his brother had it not been for poor living standards.......

You can tell by the look in his eyes. That's not sadness, that's PASSION. He's thinking to himself "I'm doing this for HIM, because he would want me to do this. I'll honor his memory." 3:45 He's grieving by MOVING FORWARD, the kind of constructive motivation that is so brave to keep.

[@jaydonnelly3224]

Yeah he got rid of his brother with nary a whimper…so brave!! You people are gullible AF

[@drewconway7135]

I remember this episode. My first thought was, if I had a house worth $2MM, I’d sell it and move somewhere cheaper and live off the $2MM. But then you watch this episode and you realize that he belongs here-he’s a part of the community, something San Francisco has been losing. I hope he stays where he is, and is able to get his house habitable again.

[@HateTheIRS]

If I had a 2 million dollar house. I’d consider whether I should keep it, is the house going to go up in value over time? Or if I did sell it, I’d put that money in the stock market, or buy real estate, or if i was sentimental about it, I’d keep the house and fix it up.

i cant imagine paying property taxes on a $2,000,000 house every year.. idk what property taxes are in san francisco but it has to be a good chunk of change

Maybe one day Ray will sell and take the money. But right now I’m really glad they understood that Ray can’t possibly can’t handle losing Tony AND the home they shared and made memories in. Maybe one day ray will be ready for that but that day isn’t right now and right now it’s important that he’s safe and can mourn a loss in a safe place. He needs his community and home right now. That really isn’t an option. Would love to see an update on Ray. I think I speak for everyone when I say We are rooting for him! RIP Tony.

So many great people work on hoarders clean up, they really deserve more recognition than they get. If you guys ever see this, know that you are wonderfully selfless people, and you deserve much more pay for the wonderful things you do to help others at their lowest points in life
