Sleeping Roughly! An Evicted Rentpayer Hollers

 I just opened a set of pictures Googling 'homeless camps in Louisville,' and have become aware that journalists other than myself have been monitoring continuously the plight of 'rough sleepers' in this Metropolitan Area. Prior to this moment of having-not-home, I was not completely aware of the vast extent of 'camping' in this fashion here, my suburban living in Southwest Louisville deprived me of a viable perception of the extremity of this condition, a social problem yes, but much less so for validating social revulsion in this community, but more-so a terrible condition for those who must endure these vulnerabilities and face the gauntlet of shunning and legal ostracism that 'camping' in the midst of a great Metropolis will by necessity present. THE PICTURES which are many as available to see from bum this Louisville LOOK MESSY; but real people endure and abide in these makeshift domicile-places. I am aware that WDRB and other commercial electronic ...

  Loitering , indecent exposure => these are charges a cop knows and on which makes arrests; those who have no-place as I am will if cardiac-cases will OR if normal find themselves loiter-able indecent-exposure-able on the streets of Louisville=> this means time like in "The Hall of Justice" (with some irony I think, what-our-main-jail is dubbed laugh). It is almost categorical that the workaday cop will treat this sort of trespass as good for jailing the perp, which means, of course, that for in usual cases exceedingly small charges, the homeless person can cycle into jail, and with some also-usual amount of time awaiting arraignment, and likely plea of yes-I-did-it, will have the criminal sanction imposed on her/him (yes there are women out there peeing and loitering just as I, imperfectly-but-passably-and-aspirational-ly 'womanizing' no laugh, poker face for this comment!) So this entry is about the potential human needs of this excremental and aerobic sort...

 The eviction moratorium in Jefferson-County/Louisville KY has come to an en d. I must anticipate that what this city shall witness is a huge increase in the homeless population, beyond our now-incredible showing of  'bag people,' 'shelter-dwellers,' and 'campers' at common sites all over town. It could mean that I with a shelter at St. Vincent de Paul (for men) will have been the envy of those now almost surely destined for the kind of 'sleeping roughly' that I see for myself and for a substantial if undercounted cohort of homeless here. I do not know if by comparison with other metropolises, Louisville is more 'eviction crazy' than any other comparable demographic area. All I know is that IF in the face of federal and state injunctions against evicting folk-- particularly people as aged and as challenged by health problems (heart needing open-chest surgery according to some doctors, cataracts both eyes (blind in right), NOW vaccinated for C19, ...

Yesterday, I had the occasion to take a cab from the Louisville Free Public Library to the mission/shelter where I stay ( St. Vincent de Paul [for 'men'] ); the driver for the cab by his accented speech suggested to me that he was/is from Africa. As I get conversations with cabbies to 'check the news' as many people say they do as well, I happened to ask him what he thought about the great number of "campers" all about town. . . He said he had never seen anything like it, which to me was telling-greatly, because of his origin from what likely was a Third-World country, and he spoke as well of his terror of the plight one might have by 'being without digigalized ID or money $,' and said to my concurrence of opinion that the "cops"/police in Louisville are NASTY, especially to his hue of complexion (Black). The cabbie went on to say that he was aware that at "Derby Time" (the Kentucky Derby, first Saturdays in May unless disruption [...

  ALL I NEED IN THE WAY OF SHELTER, DOWN TO BASICS, AS AN EXTREMELY INDEPENDENT CIS-M TRANS-F, WOULD BE A PLACE WITH NO      STEALING      OF MY STUFF, AND SHELTER FROM THE ELEMENTS; IN POINT FINE, WAREHOUSE SPACES HAVE SHELTER FROM THE RAIN, AND MAY-- WITH CERTAIN PROVISIONS-- HAVE SECURITY ENOUGH TO VOID THE STICKY-FINGERED PEOPLE FROM TAKING-- AS WAS THE CASE IN MY MAY 12 (2021) EVICTION-- MY VALUABLES NOT JUST INCLUDING HERITAGE-LEVEL CLASSICS COLLECTION OF TEXTS (GREEK, LATIN, HEBREW, COPTIC, GERMAN) BUT MY ONE COMPANION IN THAT UNVISITED OR VISITED-RARELY #18 APARTMENT 3640 MANSLICK ROAD 30215; THIS IS JUST     IT!     I PRICED WAREHOUSE SPACE IN LOUISVILLE AND I COULD GET THE EQUIVALENT FLOOR SPACE FOR $150 (RENT FROM MR. BRYANT WAS $340; I    DID TOO     PAY HIM 360 AS SOME GOOD-WILL ARRANGEMENT WITH IMPLIED FEELING THAT IN SOME WAY HE WOULD THENCE BE LESS-WILLING TO KICK-ME OUT). WATER COM...

 On or about April 12, this year, I had attended my Eviction Court appointment; I can say that such litigations as here are done in the Hall of Justice, downtown in Louisville at 6th and Jefferson Streets. As I had been having immense trouble with my bank ( PNC ), I for example did not know whether the rental-payments as WERE supposed to be taken from my bank account indeed did happen, so I brought with me significantly more cash than the entire year of rentals would-have-been. <Simply stated, my bank put up 'roadblocks' to finding out just how much money-- or not-so in OD-- was to my credit, and that did irritate me enough to this moment for me to have a happier account with L&N Credit Union, just some few blocks from here where I sit in the Louisville Free Public Library.> I had as I said enough cash to 'pay away' the usual problems that would be the concern of an eviction legal proceeding, as if indeed on some chance that I was behind in the rent-- eventua...

The Sheriff's Department does evictions in Jefferson County (Louisville) Kentucky ; with some insolence, the evicting officers who forced me out of my apartment-- for which rent had been paid, Lord of the Land simply refusing re-lease for me after 10years rental on ok terms-- these evictors with meta-force had me leave the premises at 3640 Manslick Road #18 40215 WITHOUT ID (PAPERS OF IDENTIFICATION) OR MONEY. Indeed I had MONEY $1300 cash about which I told the Sheriffs that I had this money in the apartment with wish to get it; these officers sworn to honesty told me wrongly that the Lord of the Land's henchpeople (none known to me) WOULD NOT STEAL MONEY-- yet the money was taken. . .I would have used the $ to get a motel, and for all other matters that pertain to living. So, bereft of ID and money I unsuccessfully for a large part walked into downtown that day, a walk then of 15-20 miles, to find not a motel, but a mission or shelter that would take me, but in the end now h...

  'Chow Time' at the St. Vincent de Paul Society "Open Hand" kitchen for me has become a place to glimpse a rather ad-hoc "focus (group)" revealing the culture of those smitten of God homeless, rough sleepers and those whose rough sleeping is to eke existence in a shelter/mission as now I am (for my rough sleeping in the woods between the Ohio River at McAlpine Dam and the overpass of Superhighway 64 was abruptly ended when an evidently jealous colorful man assaulted me [1]). I see my ilk of humanity-at-bottoms in the dining area, and yet never so far is there concern shown that I as "womanly-yet-imperfectly" am a freak. Nevertheless, as womanly and wannabe protector of woman kind, what is a needle in my tenders to witness are the women, mothers with young coming in to eat from the hard hard hard streets, young and sunburned and less-then-pretty girls coming in looking tired, fat and matronly appearing ladies who seem by necessity to look tough and...

The following is a "CC" of a Gmail sent to social-justice advocates Nima Kulkarni (Member of Kentucky General Assembly) and Louisville Coalition for the Homeless (Natalie Harris CEO and George Eklund COO)   Vernonlynn Stephens <vernonlynnstephens@gmail.com> 8:00 AM (0 minutes ago) to Nima, George, Natalie, me Nima and New Friends! I am, and certain of ye know, "camping" at the St. Vincent de Paul Center downtown (between St. Catherine and Kentucky on Jackson, seemingly a place for men, for whatever I as 'trannieF' may count in that regard laff). I did have an arrangement with the Brook Hospital in Dupont area to hold my $1300 retirement check until-- by 'hook and crook' I could get out to pick it up, but of late it appears that the check (not for July, which George Eklund and I snagged) for June was sent back to the Treasury on or about 7.12; this leaves me only a little in a fix, as I have arranged for a friend (Heather Pfeiffer) of UPS Stor...

THIS IS A COPY OF GMAIL SENT TO NIMA KULKARNI, SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE AND IMMIGRATION LAWYER AND KENTUCKY STATE REPRESENTATIVE, OF LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY DISTRICT=> Vernonlynn Stephens   < vernonlynnstephens@gmail.com > to  Nima ,  me <My writs will try to find a way of elevating the leasee's value addition and factors of 'decency' toward 'promoting the general welfare' (as do terms when one is evicted in eminent domain-- as when highways-building mean foreclosure to a resident owner. George Eclund says that something like this applies in Louisville's dealings with over-abundant 'rough sleeping camps' all around town.><I want to do so by crafting a workaround concept of ownership, owning real or even any property, which by Blackstone's adaptation of 'natural law' would imply that the 'natural rights given by the Creator' would dovetail with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (persuasive authority but not direct ...

See me here, a person without pillow or bed for nocturnals so-promised if I do not obey the lordmasters of the mission in which I stay, or some drug dealers with utterly invalid hunches gun me down as knowing where I am AFTER I WAS EVICTED WITH EVIDENCE FOR BEING OF WOMANLY-MANNED BODY, YES THE BODY OF A GOODLY-PASSABLE OLD LADY WHO WISHES AND EVER-WISHED TO BE KIND.   I am 74 years old, have what the medical doctors claim I need a pig aorta by heart surgery(are they right? I shall get to asking about just how right they're); I am blind in right eye with cataract, the other left-one going blind as well; my diabetes is substantial but now I have not wherewithal for metformin. MOREOVER I am conscientious, and an aspiring 'Good Samaritan' to those I can help and who have need; IN THIS I HAVE IN ALL WAYS AND ALWAYS HAVE PAID THE RENT I HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, DO NOT NEED TO BE GROVELING AS NOW; AND AS ONE NOW WHOSE RETIREMENT CHECK WENT STOLEN IN THIS CATASTRO...
