Is no one angry that long term residents are being displaced to make way for wealthier folks, most of whom are white & uncaring of the lives they are disrupting? Why is there no group outcry against this wave of gentrification and displacement in LeDroit park/Bloomingdale & Shaw?
Where have the activists gone? I know there is a crop of older folks who provide insight into what this area once was, but you know us younger folks? What has happened as the entire neighborhood changes around us & there is no outcry, except gathering of folks on corners, in houses & the occasional bitch session online, but what happened to solutions oriented gatherings?
Do people not know how to do these things & if it is the case that no one seems to know, then doesn't it make sense to find someone who does, so that we can work through this & begin to reclaim some senbalance of our original neighborhoods or at least something that works for long term residents moreso than the new folks?
I am very depressed looking at this apathy, don't understand it when folks have their health & skills to make life better why they sit by & let things go on this way.

Greetings Making Life Easier. I got so despondent that I didn't even bother to revisit my own blog. I am sorry. I am currently one of the cities homeless people myself, circumstances have gotten pretty bad for me, however I would like to talk. I am going to put your number in my phone
