Had coffee with a friend today. She's a homeless outreach worker.
She said, "There's no housing. There are no shelter spaces. There are no rent supplements. No one is accepting names on their waitlist. The only option is the street."
@LCMORGAN1@KarenMillsMay Housing. Housing is the solution.
Also where TF in my original post did it say I wanted to discuss or debate someone’s humanity? You came over here, bud. This is my house. If you don’t like it GTFO.
Written on a vacant building by Pandora:
“Why can’t I live HERE?? I have $1000/month to pay rent. I DON’T LIKE LIVING IN A TENT. I don’t like having no job, no car. Goddamnit RENT TO ME.”
No one is having a good time out there. No one is there by choice.
@LCMORGAN1 Oh no!!! The property what ever will we do?! We must protect the property! The people can freeze but let’s make sure the property stays pristine!
@LCMORGAN1@KarenMillsMay You came in hot just shouting that people are there by choice. That’s not a nuanced or flexible take. Then you demanded a person who has experienced homelessness explain themselves to you. I know what you’re about. You’re not here for substantive conversation.
@LCMORGAN1@KarenMillsMay It’s wild to me that your bio says “be curious” yet you do’t for a second investigate that vast and documented systemic inequalities that land people in homeless situations. You’re a fraud.
I don’t care what happens to golf courses as long as they don’t stay golf courses. Housing? Yes! Community farming? Yes! Parkland and housing and farming? Yes! Golf? No. #golfmustdie
Here we go…just went on @CBContheisland with @GregorCraigie to talk about developing golf courses, the Uplands, and Missing Middle Housing.
