I have never been anywhere they ride through and yell your name to serve meals, offer laundry, random City agent people, the harm reduction van (???), and the most invasive, the “wellness check” with a clipboard. These wellness checks come and go. Sole days there will be two or three, then weeks will pass and there Continue reading

Although my RV was assessed for repairs on June 27, 2023, but nothing came of it as the summer and fall came and went. Then late September into October, there was talk of tarps. Dec 4, 2023 weatherization team finally on scene. Rained two days later and same places leaked. They came back for round Continue reading

Mid Dec 2022. When my old SUV broke down and I wept in the VTC office in front of 5 grown men. Not one of them offered a mechanic. That’s simply unnatural. Aside from the fact it’s their job. Vehicle Triage Center. But as MEN, this what men do worldwide, they find other men who Continue reading

No thanks! Continue reading

Since I began this effort to recover and stay in our RV home following my husband’s death July 7, 2020, three-and-half years ago, I have repeatedly told any and everyone, from the cops, to the mayor, to the City Attorney, to the Board of Supervisors, to the several HOT teams, to the street staff of Continue reading

I’d been here less than three weeks. No care given with the fact these are occupied homes. It was a San Jose PD action with SFPD in background. They caught the guy a few blocks away and we’ll, basically, run him over on his motorcycle. You can see him make a run for it and Continue reading
