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. I ...

Eros and Homelessness=> The Craving for Love Emergent from Roughly Sleeping

 I am, perforce of avowal and perforce of 'girl hormones' that take away 'the only thing re which men are interested' (sex, the women say), not excessively interested in 'gender-ing' with anyone; the-girls from this vow I deem rather TOO HOLY for my romance, and the-men simply do not attract my attention in usual ways at-all. My position and stance with regard to my transgenderedF status is over-largely a matter of REPENTANCE, and the clothing I almost always wear (dresses of some length, showing minimal flesh) consists of what I want to show that I HAVE FAILED AT MAN HOOD, FROM 2009 I HAVE FAILED AT BEING A MAN, AND SOLELY IDENTIFY WITH THE BELOVED GENDER TO WHICH/WHOM I AM WITH UTTER RESTRICTION DEDICATED. Nevertheless, I 'get it' erotically from both men (typically in the ShelterWorld in which I dwell) as well as from woman-kind. In all these 'warm exchanges,' I try courteously the 'shrug' the approaches away, but I notice MORE FLIRTS ...

Impossble Surgeries Now to Become Un-Blinding with Cataracts

 I am homeless, and-- absent corrective surgery-- I shall go blind. I am indeed, as I have stated herein, blind with cataracts in my right eye, but with the left eye and strong diopter glasses, the left eye's cataract is not so bad and I can read with it. I need cataract surgery. . . .but I am homeless-in-a-shelter and I do not think it will be easy to get time (at least seven days of inactivity) from my shelter due to its confirmed rule that residents will have to 'be out' from the place from about 7no-later-am to no earlier than 3p. This is a commonplace with many Louisville shelters, and certainly I can neither expect to get a breach of 'the usual rules' nor find a better or just kinder place from which to get surgery soon. I saw the   opthamologist  assigned to my by University of Louisville Physicians and my optometrist on Friday, yesterday August 13, which was at a clinic called Lions' Club Eye Center; this Dr. Washington said I best should have cataract s...

YES!!!! LOUISVILLE'S MULTI-FACITED ETIOLOGICALLY-PLURAL HOMELESSNESS I*S* 700+% MORE THAN NATIONALLY

One who visits Louisville downtown for the first time, or visits infrequently as had been the case with myself up to my personal catastrophe on May 12 this year (ejection from home without ID or $1300 at hand that could have gotten me a motel), ONE CANNOT BUT NOTICE THE GREAT DOMINATING VISAGE OF THE-HOMELESS ALL OVER, PARTICULARLY CAMPING BENEATH SUNDRY OVERPASSES IN TOWN. A ccording to Google's summary from the city housing-for-homeless report of last year, 6986 persons are variously (sheltered and unsheltered) in Louisville as of 2017 ; that would be a portion/population of  6986 /617790 = .01130805; PubMed, in a special report re Covid 19 nationally, estimates that the average nightly demographic for 2017 homeless people in the USA is 500000; as then the population of the USA was 325.1million, the fraction corresponding to that-above would be .001537988 , a much lower 'percentage' than here in this town at the Falls of the Ohio River. There is something called an 'o...
