Does it feel like anger does it Jimmy? I dont see any anger at all in my post. I see desperation and despair. I see you giving me a big dose of the denial that drives so many of us to suicide.
I am directing my comments to those who are causing the problem and who are sitting on their hands while whole sections of the community are driven into homelessness and suicide.
I am one of the people who has been disinherited and now I have those people who are angry about being dealt a bad hand at my throat, and the people who dont like Jews and the people who think they should be able to stand over the disabled, and people who resent self-motivated and educated cripples. I am in a fight for survival that has gone on for years and which I am going to lose. I have a journal with almost two thousand entries that follows my ruin and the way it has been imposed on me for years.
There is a crisis that has already killed twenty times what died in 9/11. We are having our lives and futures ruined now. I saw elderly driven from their homes to die. I saw despair kill elderly people driven into single ghettos. I saw an old man driven from his home where he had set up a radio repair business driven into the tyranny of singles housing with most of f a lifetime’s tools left behind. He died quite quickly. My friends have committed suicide to the tune of thirty people I know and many of them were homeless when they gave up
How urgent do you think a thousand more lives are? Ten thousand? An entire low-income sub-culture? When you know what is killing them and can stop it but dont, its murder Jimmy. They are murdering us. Right now
Wow look at this. I thought this was a thread where people in government, social or corporate housing could come to rant about their helplessness in a community that abandoned them. Battered wives, underpaid nurses and cleaners, cripples and low-income elderly.
Many of them are still dying as homeless nomads so owners can pump every cent out of rentals. Singles end up in a tyrannical poverty traps that steals all your choices of where and how you live simply because the plight is so desperate and there is nowhere. Just having the address destroys your life choices and brands you as less than human. I just had a cop tell me that I should get a job and buy a house. I was forced here and when I arrived I was a handicapped and exhibiting artist, a business owner, a published poet, a web designer, a blogger and a man who is so ill he can often not get to his feet. What am I now after all that painful effort? To you I am a houso and you have got yourselves all worked up and nasty about it.
I needed help so I came here ro see if anyone else in government housing was as desperate as I have been. Now I see what is going on I understand why people can harm us without regret. I am gonna die here. Soon. So be happy.
I see my comment and outrage disappeared from this post. Dont want to upset the rich folks by letting them hear just how angry we are?
Ill say it again. It is an outrage to the tenants and a salute to negligence and corruption that the ten points in the the story have not been in place since the 1800s. We have absolutely known the dangers. I used to calculate materials off plans for warehouses back in the 1970s and even on those the first thing we looked for was the fire ratings of the materials
Drugs are on their way to being decriminalized with most of the harm either shown to have been caused within the prohibition model or to be myth. Drug dealing will be come less of a problem.
If I had a drug dealer living next door and they were quiet and respectful I would stay out of it I would feel quite dirty if my building was populated with developers and property investors knowing how many elderly and crippled people were driven onto the streets so you can all have you high rents and not see the victims
Aw cmmon Jimmy. I hate being in apartments because I am an artist who needs space and I like music that pounds and I hate being near people.
These ones are government emergency housing and most of us here are pretty miserable. We had to give up a lot to squeeze into the tiny spaces we were driven to by the bloom of investment greed. As the really greedy insist we love our smaller and smaller apartments we watch olur hopes of escaping rental tyranny slip away.
I dont dislike my other apartment dwellers though. Nor do I actually give in to the urge to make everyone miserable with loud music or power tools. I make myself miserable with their lack.
Just thought I would mention it
