Street neighbor: Down on 13th, the East Village
The problem of homelessness goes back to biblical times, at least, and Jesus was one of the homeless, who were permitted to live on the rooftops in Jerusalem. Most of these people lived in two-bit hotels that were torn down to build the fancy condos, and have been Downtown for dozens of years. When rent goes up from $50 a week and that is all you have, where do you live? And, the train wreck? If Mitt Romney had been elected President, and gotten rid of Disability and Social Security, there would already be nationwide rioting and looting. There are ways to avert a Civil War, but nobody is interested.— August 21, 2013 5:28 p.m.

I am okay, and you probably heard about my planned suicide, scheduled in about two months. I may have to call that off, and the reasoning eluded the hundred or so professionals I talked to. I have one or two friends that are species above us humans, and they are helping me right now. I have interacted with them since age 3, and I am now 61.— August 19, 2013 11:34 p.m.

It is not, as far as I know, a cult per se, but invites really frightening ministers to cause everyone to shout, holler, and become very aggressive, plus it greatly abuses Spirituality by making the food served way, way, too "holy". This causes drug abuse, mental illness, alcoholism, suicide, memory problems, defective libido, and worse.— August 19, 2013 11:32 p.m.

As one of the primary representatives of the San Diego homeless, and publisher of the San Diego Homeless News, I want to thank you for your frank interview. Unfortunately, it is mention of things like amphetamines that get the public into the incorrect thinking that homelessness has to do with drugs, alcohol, and mental illness, which it does not, at least not right away. Many eventually succumb to these things, to be sure, but in the beginning it is economics that causes all homelessness. I might also mention that the church chosen is one of the worst for causing more problems than they solve. Visit the Meals List on the Homeless-Owned website, www.NZ9F.com/B, and you will note this church not even listed, because it has abused so many people, causing their problems to become worse.
