Sleeping Roughly! An Evicted Rentpayer Hollers

 I on weekends usually take mass transit exactly through the main locales where the City of Louisville has intended 'camping homeless' to be (say, re-)evicted. There is absolutely NO SIGN that these rough-sleepers are MOVING, and reports suggesting that many (if not a plurality) of these humans have done so. I am no glutton for punishment; the police will move in very soon, by methinks the end of the first week in October, and there is occasion to speculate that (expensive! where do the campers get them?) tents and tools-campwise will sell at a Police Property sale, and that at least some 'campers' will spend time in the so-called Hall of Justice or other jail. If all things work for me synergistically, I might be able to play "friendly visitor" at the APPROVED campsite at Brook and College Streets, perhaps not really as projected to open this coming November. I am subject to a great multitude of viscissitudes, and atop would be my own finding a stayable-place...

 I have stated that the present condition in Austin Texas vis a vis homelessness contrasts as well as potentially compares to that of Louisville KY, our rootedly genteely-administered city. In both cases we are facing two left-of-Center Metropolises with a state beyond its borders that is Solid-South Conservative Republican. Austin did vote at the Council level to abet aiding homelessness by decriminalilzing what I (with hope of being utterly non-pejorative) call 'camping homelessness'; a referendum in Austin re-criminalized that 'thrown state' (to use the expression of Martin Heidegger) and the Texas legislature went further by making camping-on-public-land a crime. So I have for information-purposes to our Louisville situation been following Austin's progress in this domain; it is personally edifying, but perhaps to the SolidGOPSouth guys in Texas disturbing that just a few days ago and with revision yesterday, Travis County (say Austin) voted in about $250million...
