all in one nasty synergistic package...

Original Text

 

So moving back to Arlington

after my father died,

came up on the Section 8/Voucher

list after a decade or so waiting,

trying to be mid county,

from the IsLand of MountVernon

near Comprehensive Day TreatMent (CDT),

so much time spent commuting by bus, bicycle, etc

a couple shelters

Bailey's CrossRoads

HypoThermia at FallsChurchWinterShelter,

MondLoch House,

finally into

PathWays Shelter Plus Care,

after had first offered Reston,

but too far out and flip flop opposite

North from South,

trying to get back how i had started,

FairFax didn't have anything

that i could find,

toured/visited one place

just over the county line

dead pests (insects) left in the cabinets,

at least they sprayed, right?

but didn't bother cleaning them up to show?

only to end up where mice infested

and gang/ LatinX dominated

AndTheHorseYouRodeInOn2011

DearBedBugs2013

IcedGreenTea2014

a self move from one

into what ended up being even smaller,

MountVeron 2nd place

had a washer dryer in the unit,

swimming pool, gym,

a basement underneath,

but problems like broken out windows,

gang like encroachments,

later a rat, literally living under My balcony/

patio, likely from stream out back,

a short rat commute from fast food

on the HighWay,

trash left on T parking spots,

only to be left at certain times

(not working so not up then,

nocturnal military boots on thin floors

waking me odd hours, stress, etc)

a pickup/ flat bed truck came by

and condenses/ hauled to one

bigger spot, iirc

then went to dumpsters,

loud noisy things

waking up,

vermin problems, skunk,

feral cat, and feral cat tenders/

caretakers, etc...

3 Story Garden apartments

(2 down (laundry/ storage

towards no windowed front)

4 main,

4 up)

to more density,

in Arlington,

less lawns, space,

more units per building

top floor (3 or 4?),

bottom 2 back laundry down,

4

4 and looking out on parking lot,

motorcycle totaled in a space out front,

(LatinX/AfricanAmerican

maintenance didn't see nothing,

(sounds mob like no?)

similar problems with flat tires,

on mom's borrowed car

pan handling

while friends of the family

visited/ dropped off,

see where and how it was,

 

and threatening/ menacing

screws found in tires,

while parking in view,

but then trashed again,

on hill on Xmas day,

likely gang related,

 

Something came up,

a new building,

have to get on a list,

another wait list,

big long lines outside the building,

i was living in,

so might as well apply,

then don't have floor plans (total sq ft lost?),

many didn't move, (as didn't like it)

somehow i seemed staff,

to many who hadn't lived in any

of the complexes,

invasions of privacy,

people wanting a space

lining up outside your complex

building door, and as white

and generally bossy,

assumed staff,

got on the wait list,

had priority, as already a resident

of that system, and was lied to

that had priority, then denied,

and had to assert that right,

statement,

fight for Transferred between

complexes/ buildings...

 

Into what turns out a smaller place,

seems big going in,

as no stuff,

old: mice problems,

new building,

had/ has elevator,

and having trouble walking up

the 3 flights up

especially in heat,

after long rides, out to Reston,

carrying groceries,

eventually find food being delivered

and qualify,

disAbled means income is low,

with a work history rarely low enough

for FoodStamps now SNAP,

but not never

ThePracticalitiesOfFoodDistribution2012

back into Food Pantry to make

ends meet (not al monetary,

some transport getting it home)

as had to get storage,

smaller means lose stuff,

and memory problems,

so lost life line/ time segments,

earlier medicated away parts of my life

that ruminate on:

tech and other career(s),

loss of relatives,

relationships not working out,

romantic and otherwise,

odd white slavery type problems,

gang/ hood problems,

DearBedBugs2013

TheTrashGuy2013

 

Try the new place,

sleep on the floor,

see if the noises bother me,

man made noises, oddly the rain

on the roof/ flashing/ eves loud,

(think Chinese water torture,

drip, drip, drip,

more drip,

when will it end,

drip,

drip,

SCReam)

but natural so somehow OK,

but out the windows people noise

sometimes deliberately,

given the smallest unit

by threatening to poison

"senior?" "manager"

Transferred and

given extra time to move

as a reasonable accommodation,

bad manglement eventually moves

on, a worse shows up,

Pestilence2016

PestProblems2021

 

Original transition from FairFaxCounty,

MountVernon,

it takes even longer,

harassing calls about a dog

i didn't even have

(but wanted and put on form)

you can't have a dog here,

some of my first LatinX problems,

basically a we don't want you here,

but have to take applications,

some other person gotten rid of,

maybe a problem some way, idk,

likely what is being done to me now,

making room for others 

by killing off people,

perhaps like nursing homes,

my mother thinking they are killing people

to make space, if people don't visit,

then they are not cared for,

and roving predators,

would hurt people if didn't pay / give

the nightmarish scenario of

getting older, while an older white guy

there in the denser garden apartment

had been clubbed/ knocked out,

 

remembering commuting, so much by bus,

and a death threat/ going to kill someone

i try talking the guy out of it,

only blocks from where i am now,

having lived in North Arlington ina house

when i had an old childhood dog and job,

2 Porsche 914s, first motorcycle a 250CC

dirt bike bought around Ft. Myer

had garage, yard, Honda Accord

hand me down from deceased cousin

and a trip across country deliver to

Santa Rosa California,

as dying of AIDS needed transit

then my mother bought it after he died,

i bought from her,

he was later on the AIDS Quilt

and we had traveled a bit up

to relatives, as i'm getting reminders from

gPhotos of years/ decade(s) gone by,

lost another uncle, aunt before that,

other relatives, small and older

gone, grown, changed a lot

by all the losses...

My maternal uncle

(mother's much older brother)

committed suicide when terminal

with cancer, something i had thought i

might do when faced with similar problems,

having been a civilian with military

seemed the things people do,

some crazy ideas of honor,

self sacrifice, and duty,

really a bad scar legacy to leave

behind a death like that,

too young to know, at that point,

later becoming an uncle myself

and at least one wanting me dead,

joking or not, cruel, mean,

sick, etc...

 

So density goes inside as well,

since couldn't / wouldn't give a den,

and smaller smaller,

each inspection, have too much stuff,

most people increase in space,

this even before reached 50

and going on 60 somehow

in the decline of my life

not expansion,

as most would want and guess,

a less than and

Arlington doesn't like our poor

an offshoot of the City

and Millennial/ Yuppie/

culture, drinking too, bars

and kids, etc, don't want to be

DC, Virginia is different,

RedNeck, not the city problems,

but really some of the same,

while the color balance/ racial

ethnic demographics, more so on

North Arlington, single family homes,

density and projects more in South,

much less West, bordering problem

areas in more suburban,

transit rich, resource poor,

areas, GentrificationKills

and happens in Virginia,

Arlington, Alexandria, etc

too...

Someone is doing a photo

show of Loudoun (sp?) County

growth too...

 

 

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

a clear well stated point,

off on old wounds, /Rants?

got tired,

and lost focus, mid overnight

0359a

and had woken a while after midNight,

down early can't deal with many things

and catch up on therapy type

drivel...

 

What Can Be Found?

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Noob

Not understanding/ hear/

believe/ denying

GentrificationKills

and other supposedly

SMartGrowth

squeezes out people...

Displacement/ diaspra

in modern time

and local places...

 

Kid(s)

What happened to the old

people? where did/ do they go?

I don't know guess

not all were lost by ConVid19

maybe they just were too tired

to come in, from out somewhere

else...

You mean we got rid of them?

Maybe Like Logan's Run

their time was up?

/FaceLessSMile

 

Dis/Diss/Dys/Hiss/Etc

Known problems with the

services in Virginia, from

State Run Hospitals,

mental especially,

Institute

TrainingCenters formerly MR/

now ID

Waivers, SupremeCourt

OlmStead,

UniVersities,

TheShortOfIt

 

 

GeneralPublic

Many used to say MaryLand

had better, and likely still does,

the tax base in Virginia, a lot like

Texas, and the death penalty,

criminal justice system reflected it

cheaper to live in Virginia,

but putting into a system that

doesn't put much out,

service wise,

investing in something

where there isn't really any returns,

as most really don't even care...

 

 

Assumptions

 

Time Limits

 

PanDemic thinning the herd?

 

Baby Boomers

aging out?

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Not sure how it ends,

probably badly,

as less and less people care

and lost many of those who did,

TheMagicOfDarla

helped make it work

when in Supported Project Based

Section 8,

and differences between jurisdictions

money levels, budget problems,

focus on different things over time,

AmazonVille2018

pushes housing, density,

transit,

and basically wholesale

AmericaforSaleCheap

at the local levels...

 

Bike advocacy

BikersAndDrunks2015

 

AfricanAmericansDon'tBike2011

StoppedByPoliceTodayInOldTown

 

Times when one policeman

(Wilson?)

seemed to define things

and race relations,

over the years more and more

GeorgeFloydRiots2020

 

MarcusDavidPetersADULT2021

a while movement

BLM

counter WhiteLivesMatter2020

MeToo

 

Some think old people are supposed to

just go away, walk into the desert and

not return

Other cultures care for their elderly,

and keep them in the family homes

others push out the teens,

old enough to work,

having babies, do it elsewhere,

not here, get a job, etc...

 

And disabled somewhere in  between,

can't work, general definition of disAbled,

only 10-20% do work while disAbled,

recovery model might suggest more,

this blogging, a non paid, volunteer,

therapy type thing brings up issues

experienced as a MH person,

survivor, mostly, but will end somehow,

even if don't know how,

now... NoBody lives for Ever,

NoBody,

Legacy2020

Legacy2019

Legacy2017

 

Lout2020

Lout2020.PBWorks.com.txt

Loot2020

started that trend,

some migration off PBworks

which requires updating to keep

this online,

backing off,

refactoring,

and some sort of carry over,

transition team?

 

As a biker, i've thought, well before

VisionZero, my time could be up

at any time, some truck/bus/

car/ inattentive driver,

even heat, heart, gang,

etc problems,

given my father had heart problems

and health declined losing him

at about 72? years old,

the 20 year discount for MH

lifespans, likely a lot of these

poverty, lack of care

unaddressed,

on top of stigma,

Hate2017

PoliticalHateCrimes2021

rising with tRump,

etc...

Likely to get worse before,

if it ever gets better,

Election year,

month before that,

and politically charged attacks

left and right...

Far Right, etc,
