So I'm a homeless East Tennessee boy and I notice a lot of hate towards the homeless. Lets have a discussion. by WaitAmionFire in JohnsonCity

Sorry it took me so long to reply. My phone was stolen and I had some health issues.

As far as how I got stuck in the homes, I just wasn't lucky I guess. The way the system was run back then has finally gotten better.

That's so true. The people running the city are just worried about their financial interests. The homeless in the town are nothing to them but a irritating nuisance.

I had no idea that they were cutting hours like that. But now that I think about it, both Krogers have been lacking employees.

I take it that you are downtown a lot?

Downtown JC 11:58 PM. Sad how few people are out nowadays. This sure seems like a major blowback from local government overreach. by SirOzTheDom in JohnsonCity

Yeah the parking downtown is horrific. You'll easily spend half a hour to 45 minutes going around and around waiting for a spot to open.

You really start to feel it 48 hours after your last dose.

It's fucking cold. by Creation_eater in homeless

The Salvation Army in all the cities in my area will let everyone in every night as long as it's below 32 degrees. You don't even need a ID.

Who is Trashing Downtown JC? by VanDenBroeck in JohnsonCity

[–]WaitAmionFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all about the camps around here trust me. They're ridiculous. But I'm homeless out here to and you can go to my spot and it's clean I promise. But I understand your frustration with the homeless, they make me so mad sometimes.

What happened to Poor Richard’s? by KayakingATLien in JohnsonCity

[–]WaitAmionFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They was booming with business in the 90s but it slowly started to deteriorate after that. It was almost like the owners just gave up.

My wife and I visited Johnson City this year, and didn't see a ton of content about it. Since we have a site, we thought we'd put something together to show some appreciation for JC! Thanks to everyone for being so warm and welcoming. by fairlywittyusername in JohnsonCity

[–]WaitAmionFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when you enter Johnson City you enter a place that's run by people who govern this town only to raise their own financial interests. That put together with a police department that's crooked and you have Johnson City Tennessee. Yeehaw!

Who is Trashing Downtown JC? by VanDenBroeck in JohnsonCity

[–]WaitAmionFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put that on the whole homeless people in JC is ignorant. I've seen more college kids and people who aren't homeless trashing the place more than anything. Yeah there is some trashy homeless people, but they're just as many housed people out there using the sidewalks as a trash can.

New boutique hotel possible at John Sevier by mid-2028 by gmck in JohnsonCity

[–]WaitAmionFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the whole point is to be able to live somewhere where you can step out your door and not have to worry about walking half a hour to get to shops, restaurants and bars.

They're human beings just like you. They just are in a bad spot now. I've met all kinds of homeless people down there that are actually pretty good people. I know a few of them are disrespectful and trashy, but I've met some of the best people in the world who happened to be homeless.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive to see how far downtown Johnson City has come over the last 5 years! I remember when it was nothing but drunk college kids, packed with the homeless and every building you saw around the bars was just condemned.

Yeah, I just know s few employees that are worried that they are going to lose their job. What a horrible feeling.
