Berkeley/Oakland gentrification-meetings Sat. Oct. 20th

Is the Downtown Area Plan of Berkeley-the area around downtown Shattuck-an attempt to develop office spaces, hotel rooms for corporate business and condos for the well to do at the expense of the lower income of our city who keep getting pushed out due to the rising rents caused by gentrification? Will DAPAC's plan be at the expense of the sense of community inclduing its progressive activist values that Berkeley is known before? Is it a way to disregard Berkeley General Plan's commitment to create 6,200 affordable housing units in Berkeley? How many jobs will be created for local lower-income /houseless indiviudals when the massive amount of construction called for under the plan commences? Will the downtown plan seek to drive the houseless and the struggling working class out of the public commons? Come to the workshop and ask these questions.
The workshop will be held this Saturday October 20th 10am-1pm at the Berkeley High School Library at Allston & Milvia.
Also on the same day this Saturday Oct. 20th from noon to 3pm in west Oakland there will be a discussion on gentrification at the West Oakland Senior Center at 1724 Adeline, near 18th with city councilmember Nancy Nadel and others.

As I probe around the internet, searching for pragmatic and manifest "help for the homeless" I ran across the BOSS website and promotions... "advocating for the homeless" and claims of "helping to prevent homelessness".

Several months ago, when I was earnestly seeking to avoid homelessness I contacted someone at BOSS, seeking help. There was none. None.

Now that I've been homeless for some months, having been unable to prevent that (although there are several distinct legal grounds ostensibly designed for that very purpose in cases like mine), I continue to try to not lose virtually everything else I own that I've managed to store this far. And to continue the daunting legal battles from this seriously limiting circumstance. I'm still having a very, VERY hard time locating any actual "help" with ANY of this.

Then I see this link to Yet Another Program and, supposedly, an initiative to give a "voice" and "empowerment" to us homeless that are ready, willing and able to come forward.

What do I find? The most recent entry is over a year old. Nothing since. Nothing.

Typical. All too typical.
