How can we communicate face to face with a person to discuss this letter? So far, all we've gotten is this. A lady that was scared to open the door but said she would pass the letter along, and locked doors and security cameras. I hardly doubt the three women trying to talk to them are that scary!

Let Homeless people sleep at the City-County Building! Letter signed by: Supervisors Carousel Bayrd, Jenni Dye, John Hendrick, Dorothy Krause, Al Matano, Patrick Miles, Leland Pan, Jeff Pertl, Kyle Richmond, Michele Ritt, Nick Zweifel and Heidi Wegleitner! Thank you!!!

Right as we're (Tenant Resource Center) getting defunded . . . yeah, that makes sense!

I like how they put this out AFTER the public hearings . . . BUT a HUGE thank you to Sharon Corrigan, County Board Chair, for the changes to the process!

Honestly, I have no clue. I can tell you what I do know, people won't be sleeping in front of the City-County Building tonight.

Mayor is about to speak. Parts one and two here. It's 12:30am

Ugh, part one is here . . . had to abandon that long post and work from a fresh slate - computer wasn't updating well!

Live blog means lotsa typos, I'll update as often as I can and still try to keep up, and that means you'll probably have to refresh more frequently than usual. Probably no time to answer tweets and facebook and emails if I'm going to catch the majority of this . . .

The trend is growing and seemingly getting worse.

Police announce plans to sweep homeless from the city-county building. Will it be necessary, probably not. People will just find a new place to go and create annoyances elsewhere - until they are swept out of their new locations. Our city is absurd. Can we just work to solve the problems instead of moving them?

Who stands to profit here. Who's making money on the deal? And who's losing? Spoiler alert: this is a sucky deal for taxpayers.
