Reply to Apartment/Apartment complexes in The Fan and Museum District recommendation. by [deleted]

I help relocate folks to the area, and I thought that The Gallery Midtown was a decent combination of great location with an affordable monthly rate. Some of their units are a little dated, but I didn't come across anything too egregious. You have excellent walkability throughout the Museum District and Carytown, easy commute up Grove Avenue to campus, and a handful of decent amenities included on-site.

I have no shot at any nearby shelter without aleverage, and people have seen me in the area for a long time so I'm not sure that hospital trick would work. Especially since it would be odd to people out of nowhere I suddenly claim to be suicidal.

People generally are not to found of homeless here despite calls to the politicians to do something about it. Especially those they see around regularly.

Have you gone to the men's shelter at United Nations Church? That is free and city funded, although I cannot speak to favorites.

I know it's a long shot, they have been turning people away because of lack of space.

Try a few Churches as well. The one at stewart and franklin is welcoming. They all should be, but that is a different story.

​

If you talk about suicide and get into a hospital, you can abuse the system to get warm. People do it all the time. Not saying it's right, but its a loophole.

Which is why I think a deputy representative or vice representative would alleviate those issues. Or online voting but sadly that won't happen in my time on earth

I did say everyone but the person this main post was about. So I'm not counting Morrissey. He's the reason I went to vote, I wanted anyone but him to be the nominee.

> You wouldn't be calling it easier if you saw the lines to park and get to the voting stations, vote and get out of there.

Yes I would.

A normal election involves closing schools and government offices to serve as polling places. While it may make it easier for an individual to vote if all those spots are open, it makes it vastly harder on the general public. With schools closed parents now have to cover child care or miss work to watch the kids that can't go to school during the election.

> I read up on every candidate before I go vote. Most read very very similarly.

And yet you seemed to have missed the differences between McClellan and Morrissey on the topic of abortion for instance.....
