I am writing for a couple of reasons. I feel as though the meetings are set up with the most
controversial issues at the very end of the meeting. Make a meeting that only discusses thetopic's, such as urban camping , without any other Action Items. It seems like the later the
meeting goes the less people will stay. I can only hope this was not the intention.Meetings that start discussing this issue like the Guthrie House and other hot topics at 8:00
onto 11:00pm could be construed in a less than favorable light
Second issue : HRDC
If you are going to be BFF with HRDC than at least make sure they are not dirt bag renters. Ihave seen the bed bug infestation at one of HRDC locations and it was posted by the renters.
Might verify the validity of the claim but it makes anyone associated with them look stupid. They also do not check wages in low income housing . A conversation last week with a
renter who was so proud they her boyfriend and her have never had the income checked forthe “ rent controlled “ apt he has lived in for years !!!! He is now a journeyman and she’s not
on the lease. These are low income housing and if you are going to support HRDC than atleast make sure they are legit. This is not the first time I have heard that they don’t check
wages … ever !!! What is the motive behind not checking renter wages ?? Pretty fishy and Iwill be interested to find out why . Let’s open up the housing for low income folks as that is
what you preach.
