Forwarding an exchange from Sarosh Kumana with a tenant in an apartment building he owns in SF. Excellent insights on the part of both the tenant and the landlord.

Thanks so much for sharing this. A real wake-up call.
The organizer of a neighborhood group to which I belong has announced that the subject of the next meeting will be "homelessness," and the Homeless Coalition will be among several guest speakers. As I understand it, this outreach by City officials and the Homeless Coalition will take place not only in my neighborhood but in neighborhoods throughout the City. We are encouraged to ask (polite and non-aggressive) questions at this forthcoming meeting, which I will. I encourage members of these LPSF lists to watch for such meetings in their neighborhood -- and ask some good polite questions.
The LPSF has a pretty nice website at www.lpsf.org, and original guest articles are welcome. If either Sarosh Kumana or David-Elijah Nahmod would like to post something they have written on homelessness (or anything else), please let me know.
