Word Salad at Homeless Oversight Commission
Sept 19, 2023 listening on the phone, I hear a female commissioner ask HSH “What is a cabin?”. In the background, a voice says in an overlay, 33 Gough is where they are. HSH says “There are little tiny homes. We are very innovative here.” Laughter in the audience. They are sheds. Homes have kitchens and bathrooms, else Continue reading

Tenant or Client?
Let’s say eventually the effort to unionize as tenants is knocked down by a judge in some far long away court hearing. We are ruled to be clients. Okay let’s explore that a minute. That by the very nature of the word “client” represents a contract of some kind. What have been the POSITIVE THINGS have I received Continue reading

It’s unconstitutional to be made to leave area in order to get RV repairs
But here it is, right out the horse’s mouth. You can’t make this stuff up. And again, at 13.59, see below even more strongly when Urban Alchemy Director Lou Reed asks if we are getting RV repairs … we are all real quiet. BVHPF case manager is the voice explaining we have to have a destination. Continue reading

A Real Nice Compliment from Otis
who is an Urban Alchemy sr. supervisor and who literally runs the VTC actual camp day-to-day hands-on. It was at the end of today’s community meeting. His words start at minute 23.12 and he starts by saying he’d not heard me speak out like that before and in-between greeting a late arrival and shooing him to Continue reading

Community Meetings
I arrived at the VTC 9n Aug 9, 2023. The first meeting was Sept 13 2022. I only filmed the bit where the “Problem-solvers” from Episcopal Community Services (ECS) speak because that non-profit org had promised assistance since April 15, 2021 and did not deliver. The way they speak (below) it appears this is their Continue reading

Legal Musings
Intimidation of Occupation: the word impound of the Jan 27, 2023 notice on door as well as posted on bulletin board for about three months (plus brought up in community meetings through April 2023). It said the VTC was closing in December and those whose vehicles were non-operational would be impounded. I firmly believe that Continue reading

Epoch Three began Dec 6, 2023
That’s when I finally wrote out the grievances/ solutions letter to go with union papers. Accompanied by sound and sight of Phoenix Electric installing…nothing. This is their third time digging (in this toxic dirt). Continue reading

Woke at 5am by Urban Alchemy night staff
Banging on my RV, three times, I was already awake, but in my nightclothes. He did this because I didn’t move my car to its regular parking space last night. When I told him I was #1) disabled and #2) battling cancer, he replied was always my excuse. As rude as he sounds in video Continue reading
