This was an emergency housing program. It's winding down.

We've been telling them since February, when we extended the time they could remain in the trailers, that we were going to charge rent.

They may be with friends, they may be with families. They may be in a hotel they're paying for themselves, or they may be renting a place.

This will be judged on its merits.

Pain is something that's common to human life. When we ignore it, we aren't engaging in the whole reality, and the pain begins to fester.

At 20 and 30, we are like travelers in a foreign country, reading the guide book to learn how to behave, to learn when the post office is open. Trivia looms important; critical issues fade into a pastel background, unrecognized.
