Updates from the re-location of those whose home is the sidewalk

I really don't have much to report as far as advance. I hope to go downtown this evening and see what is going on. Supposedly several news organizations are looking into the story of the re-location program -- we should call it for what it is. I did hear last night that some had reoccupied the area around the library.

I received an email response from Amy Benjamin that spoke only that the City Attorneys had ruled that setting up tents was illegal "on public and private property" (I wonder if that includes backyards throughout the city?) and that the tent, holding 220 people will be open on Sunday. I did get this last night from my friend, London, who one can't help but like and who will soon be moving to Texas -- to my loss.

Here is what London wrote last night:

This is London,

I just heard some interesting news, via a friend out on the street who spoke to a policeman. It seems that the whole reason the eviction is taking place is due to 2 block parties. That are happening this weekend and next weekend, Friday through to Sunday night. The second block party is supposedly being held for the Chargers.

This maybe San Diego's way of hiding the fact we exist to the incomers or some other ploy they are being careful not to reveal.

Sadly though, they have moved on over 100 people from the area, a 4 block radius without any concern to where we will be going. "A" Street and "C" Street on 2nd are already overflowing with people who have already been there for a while. So there is not a whole lot of places for people to relocate to.

But I thought you would like this information. Seems the whole Gaslamp area will be closely watched for the next couple of weekends at least, we are talking from about 10th to 4th (Horton Plaza) from Broadway down to the end of Gaslamp (Harbor Drive) NO Homeless Allowed.

I don't know how concrete this information is, but from my experience out here I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Pray for our friends as their community has been disrupted, and the social patterns that they depend for support and safety have been dissolved. If you would like to help find information and lend them personal support, please send me an email.

I think Bush put the country into recession as his last act before leaving office.

The worst thing about Brett Favre coming back this year is that it means we are going to have to listen to all this garbage again next summer.
