My hat is off to the City of San Mateo, and friends for stepping up and rehabbing that once dilapidated building.

]]> Comment on Summary of Housing Portion of Federal Recovery Package by JEFF http://www.hlcsmc.org/blog/2009/02/12/summary-of-housing-portion-of-federal-recovery-package/#comment-3403 JEFF Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:03:36 +0000 http://www.hlcsmc.org/blog/?p=54#comment-3403 Homeowner Bailouts = Renters Getting Robbed! Homeowners think I should keep the fraudulent value of their homes propped up just because they were part of the greatest criminal conspiracy this country has ever seen. I didn't realize renters were treated as second class citizens in this country. You steal my money to give to people that work at Taco Bell, so they can keep living in a $300K house. Corrupt homeowners think that just because they WISH their house is worth so much - that makes it true. I hope the day comes when stupid publically school taught renters finally realize they are getting raped on a daily basis by these Yuppie Scumbag Trash & rise up & fight to take back this country from the criminals that run it!

Yes they will pry into the homeless candidates background looking for various things that would disqualify them from staying at shelter with no regard for attitude and status of past stays at shelter. Must be nice to receive monies and grants from anyone willing to donate yet pick and choose who is worthy to come into thier shelter. Typical of the way San Mateo Co. has treated those that have crossed the lines of lawfulness in thier county. Anyone with a bit of experience knows that without funds to hire an attorney in San Mateo Co. you are subject to be represented by a Public Defender who will in most cases do the least they can get away with and are very experienced in how to avoid documentation to thier ineptness. Well apparently because of my past I will have to relocate or spend the winter on the streets of Redwood City in the blistering cold. With no regard to my advanced age and change of attitude and lifestyle in order to conform to a rightful way of living. Maple Street enjoy your donations and grants from the wealthiest people and businesses on the planet and if your concience should start to bother you just have another cup of holiday cheer and a turkey sandwich. I find that a perfect combination when guilt tries to infect my heart.
