Louisville Buys "Approved Campsite" Downtown for 'Rough Sleepers'=> But What About Positive Recognition of Tenancy-Rights Over Status Quo?

Image
 Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer just announced that open property has been set aside for 'campers' as I call the homeless people who prefer, or who cannot do otherwise than, sleep out of doors, and not (as I) in a shelter. At this link, I have posited a link to the transcript of this announcement and its speakers there and then. The property is downtown, more properly stated than as being in 'Old Louisville,' and is located at the former site for Roman Catholic Chancery Office, 212 E. College Street. The land is close to me, at St. Vincent de Paul shelter for men (1034 South Jackson Street); it is even closer to the Salvation Army GHQ and the Franciscan Free-Luncheon/Shelter. The City predicts that the campsite will be operational in November of this year. Evidently the Louisville planners/executors fothis campsite idea got 'leads' from the cities of Denver Colorado and Santa Rosa California, which venues report negligible crime etc. associated with this move.

Big Clearance of Homeless Camps Downtown Set for 10.4.2021(?)

Image
  The City of Louisville has given 21 days notice to obvious eyesore downtown homeless camps to clear out, break camp, as I calc on or before October 4. There are homeless people who for a variety of reasons must or prefer to sleep outdoors rather than in a homeless shelter; these are the public visage in many cities in the USA, and I would think that my Louisville has camping-homeless-demographics, about 1% of the total population of this Metro, which rival those of places more-notorious for 'rough sleepers' like cities in  California. This is a liberal and progressive city. What the city fathers/mothers say about what needs to be done with this segment of homeless folk speaks to an official compassion which must at the same time consider what must be much psychosocial disdain/aversion for the spectacle of people living in tents-- and with less protection-- on city sidewalks. . . so noticeably this shows at Derby/Breeders'-Cup times when these folks are gathered and placed...

HOMELESS WHO TAKE-OVER/DWELL IN VACANT BUILDINGS=> WOULD THIS BE OK WITH 'LANDMARK AUTHORITY,' LOUISVILLE KY???

 I am following Websites that proffer information about homelessness, in especial, sites that either ADVOCATE for the rights of the un-homed, and too those Websites that allude to resources that the homeless may use to further themselves for providing shelter. There are a lot of sites which have this function, .orgs, .govs and a few but evidently OK .coms. I just found a link that has folks un-homed in Eastern Los Angeles rather 'taking over' vacant properties which (for some odd-seeming reason) are owned by the California Transit Authority (which seems similar to our Louisville Transit Authority of River City TARC). From where I sit now, these in-dwellings have a semi-glow of "burglary" of a sort that might even be acceptable under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at its introit , ". . . it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights  should be protected b...
