9. I wondered if there wasn't enough empty housing
in the Northern parts of these state for people to fill up. Then it hit me that there was, but it was probably already gone, taken by those who had the means to pack up and get the hell out before the storm.

Now, it's the poor and destitute who are being turned away, the poor who were poor already, those fighting the fight of the lowest rung, homelessness alway a very present possibility, addictions, incarceration.

Like someone on the newshour said last night the invisible had suddenly became visible, the problems we swept under the rug are still there, now, we have to deal with them. It's about time.
