Sleeping Roughly! An Evicted Rentpayer Hollers

 At the Free Public Library, the otherwise sweet woman-librarian begins to raise her voice, "Sir! You have asked for a library card several times before; you cannot have a library card without a physical address. Sorry." At the driver's license place called NIA, in the far West-End of Louisville, the applicant is turned away IF NO LONGER HOLDING A GEO ADDRESS; more of the same as in paragraph-above. At the bank, the applicant needs to have a geographic address. At the post-office, from what I understand, one needs have a geo address in order to claim mail, a 'geo-somewhere' is needed, I suppose with ID so-showing. I am less sure about this-one, but do believe that to be eligible to vote in Kentucky, one must have a physical address here. YET!!!! When I had forced eviction from my apartment at 3640 Manslick Road, #18, I was really not given the opportunity to port away my several forms of ID-- driver's license, health insurance card, nor the boxes-full of ident...

 Last year, when the issue of homelessness THEN was only felt distant, when I felt there WOULD BE NO SMART REASON TO EVICT ME AS RENTPAYER, AND A KIND RENTPAYER, AT THAT, the National Alliance to End Homelessness pressed a 'white paper' limning the situation that homeless transgender people experience. I have 'scanned' this article as a fairly-swift reader with more-than-fair comprehension skills, and in summary The article states that the number of transgender people becoming homeless is INCREASING; most of these trannies do not find shelters in which to stay, and correspondingly, the unsheltered majority of them have perils in excess of their comparable cis-gendered homeless folk. The comparison, across the board, is clear that the unsheltered of these are more prone to abuse, being-drug-into-jail, disease and mental disease; moreover THE PERIL FOR BLACK TRANSGENDERED HOMELESS IS EVEN MORE DIRE ON THESE VARIABLES THAN FOR WHITES. The report states that almost 30 trans...

 It may be accurately surmised that I am scouring the publications, scholarly and popular, on homelessness: I am aware that somehow what I read is rather a 'bad fit' to my personal concerns at the moment. I am yes in the midst of a Covid "hot" place as all homeless shelters probably are, I am yes disdained for what seem to be my "hate-able" girl-dressing as transF, I am yes 'between homes' with no solid fix on where my next domicile will be, I yes have been clubbed by a homeless 'camper' in a way that the over-diagnosing folk would call "PTSD," and all all all that. . . BUT the practical and existential JOB 1 for me is none of these, but rather I am challenged by the fact that by force of circumstance, I must FIGURE OUT HOW TO BIDE TIME IN PLACES WITHOUT GETTING 'SECURITY'/911/TheCops FOR SINGLING ME OUT AS LOITERER <AND THIS COMPLICATED WITH THE MASK MANDATE WITH PSYCHOTIC DISCREPANCY ENFORCED IN SUNDRY PLACES; THE BUS D...

 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 ...

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...

 There is a type of social research (as well as research re non-humans) called systematic analysis, which is by degree quite like what is called 'meta-analysis'=> the gist of such study is to determine the overall effect of a-factor/factors given a large number of studies, usually published studies. I note from EBSCO Academic database a systematic review that evaluates the world-/global- prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); I notice well that there is variety in the determined result across the planet for homeless people, with Australia was 67%, the USA 27%+, and much-lower in European studies 6%+. I do not think that the variance in resultingly reported PTSD is consistent enough to warrant a notion that in-this-world, the rate of PTSD among the homeless is comparable-directly to that of the United States: rather what I sense is that social-conditions, in particular the-social-response, to homeless condition has much to do with the resulting traumatic-conditi...

 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...
