Starting to tell people what has happened to me
There aren’t really any “services” actually happening. It’s a huge facade, this Dept. of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. It’s an industry and they are doing well for themselves. Not this one, but last article it was 120 staff, adding 80 more. Crisis Timeline: 3.18.20 Newsom closes state campgrounds and counties do the same. The campground we were living in (in the Delta, on Sherman Island) was shut down. Our RV fuel pump went out. Husband 68 w/ liver cancer. We just needed a repair job, or time to get money ourselves. We were made to abandon our RV home of 8 years because the County worker filed a complaint against…

It’s a new day.
Experienced such a hate crime night before last, I moved to a more public spot yesterday. Because I am a gypsyTraveller, see, in San Francisco, it’s perfectly okay and even understandable for a man to come out his “real” house and scream obscenities at my door for hours. Fireworks were set off three times, too. Grateful to Mo who drove all way from Sonoma to drive the RV to Ocean Beach from Great Highway and Rivera. That’s where the hate crime happened 8.08.21 from 11pm to 2 am. And where I have been since Dec 23, 2020 in a litigation-based siege war with Dept. of Homelessness and Supportive Housing…

What is “Intimidation of Occupation”?
Hate crimes against a gypsyTraveller. I am taking you ALL to court because you scare the hell out of me. I need my home to die in because I am already very sick. But mostly I am INSANE with the grief of losing my husband (and only friend) of 27 years. I am not a stable person right now. And what you did to me Dec 23, 2020 was even more HATEFUL than I had dealt with in Sacramento. No more. It stops here. Now. On this street. I am going to make it stop. I think I am that good of a writer. We’re gonna see, aren’t we? …

A new low
In law, this is what is called “a contemporaneous note”. Every morning I go outside to check around my vehicles, a habit of many years of living curbside. It was clean and no litter for me to pick up. That was 8 am. Then again at 10 am, I took out my own (1) bag of trash. Walked a block, came back in. Still litter around my home (the RV). So up until 10.10 am nothing around my home. I hear a large truck pull up behind me, idling. I look out and see a public works truck. Stays about 2 minutes. Drives off. A few minutes pass.…

New brief regarding no services for RV dwellers in San Francisco
Headed to the courthouse with this. I don’t expect it to succeed. I just want a memorial to my death. Petition for Writ of Mandate – Google Docs This is the mayor saying Jan 25th that no services for people like me. Even the compassionate nurses who promised to get me immediate health care (at least a mammogram) never came back. And this is where the City is offering me a bed at a congregant shelter with 400 other people downtown:

Housing Rights?
A couple of teenagers just walked by and I heard one say (of my signs), “Housing rights? What does that mean?” It means that I am stranded in a city that thinks it’s okay to label me a criminal at 10 pm for living in my RV, which has been my home for eight years. It means I am on a street where the neighbors hate me and have banned “oversized vehicles” because we on their street. No other reason. They come and yell outside my door, “I am fighting to get you towed.” I am here because I have nowhere else to shelter-in-place. This is a pandemic, for crying…
