Notes from Reading "Making the Second Pandemic. . ." with Some Comparison to Louisville Homeless, Not-So-Much for My Eviction&Sequel

I THINK TOPIC AT HAND TIES DIRECTLY INTO YASMINE-JUMAA'S JOB ASSIGNMENT AT WFPL, "RACE AND EQUITY ISSUES"=>  Advocates! I DID read "Making the Second Pandemic. . .," the article from the law journal which I forwarded-gmail to you. For the most-part, I have to agree with what the authoress said to this effect, "The pandemic is frequently described as exposing and exacerbating every gulf, divide, and inequity inAmerican society, almost all of them race and ethnicity-based: between those who zoom at home to those who work in fulfillment centers, nursing homes, and meat-packing plants;[ 49] between those who pick up curbside carryout and those who wait in line at food banks.[ 50] Persons of color, already disproportionately under-employed and under-housed, were positioned to be disproportionately injured.[ 51] Prepandemic, that injury was already acute in the distribution of housing that is "affordable" and "available."[ 52] " Moreov...

ONE VET GETS ONE HOUSE FOR HOME; THE MAJOR-PART DOES NOT SO 'SERVE' AND NEED 'SERVICE' FOR MATTERS-DIRE AS WELL!!!

  WLKY reports last night that local trade-unions are banding to rehabilitate a house for a homeless veteran ; these seem to be in connection with Habitat for Humanity and other NPO agencies. . . laudable efforts and quite rendered in a spirit of needed and uncommon altruism. BUT!!!! In Kentucky, veterans constitute just under 10% of the state homeless population, in 2020 estimated to be 399 persons of a total homeless population of 4011, according to a federal report . In Louisville, it would appear from a comparable-period report by the City and The Coalition for the Homeless, veterans constitute an even smaller portion of the total homeless-demographic=> just under 6% (5.9%, 85 persons of a total there-counted of 1421 -- noting well that other City reports have it that more than six-thousand people are homeless here) . THE NEED in the Big Picture would the-better consider not just fixing a home for one person/family, which in the sort of case as usual with Habitat for Humani...

WHAT I THINK ABOUT $3MILLION MORE FOR SHELTERS WITHOUT ALTERING THAT WHICH HOMELESSNESS DERIVES STRUCTURALLY-- LORDS OF LAND W CAPRICE&GREED!!!

 The City of Louisville announced plans to take one-time Covid19 money and apply it to homelessness in town, a pressing need of course but I have comments to make; the homelessness crisis, here and evidently across the nation is at the tail-end of a housing-crisis, which is of complex dimensions, and I am utterly unsure that mere creation of 'rooves over heads' if indeed a one-time investment will in the long run solve the problem at-fundament. People become homeless, it seems, by the action of Lords of Land, on the one hand to make living-rents as high/expensive as will make real property owners remunerated to the degree so-preferred; on the end of the consumer of rental property, in a way that is less dominant in the North Atlantic tier of states, or perhaps in the Pacific West, it is obvious that what could be considered a slight downturn of finances can net removal/eviction from a property. In MY case, it seems more oblique with regard to the WHY of my eviction, as without ...
