That's how I've always figured it. They are scary, vulnerable, and broken. I don't know how we put all those pieces back together. I had a woman living across the hall who, except for her husbands job as a night guard at Universal, would have been one of those people. Instead she lived in an apartment with aluminum foil on all the windows and a shopping cart in her living room. And I once had to talk her out of jumping off the roof of a three story building. And then I left on vacation.

Although these people are potentially dangerous, they are also so very vulnerable. Yeah, thanks Reagan! But, Reagan's been gone for a long time. You would think that we could have addressed this by now. <br />I offer a similar sentiment about my Portland neighborhood. It was great when I was younger, but now as I get older, I want less noise, garbage, and general commotion.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.com
