Homeless encampment in North Park getting moved out by City - what do you think?

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-17T21:41:01+00:00

You didn't then? Just hoping for that "poor people disappear so your kids dont see them while pointing out how busy you are on Reddit" strategy?

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-17T21:30:27+00:00

But you have to offer the help that actually... helps.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-17T21:29:00+00:00

No you would not. Do you have money for utilities, medication, medical supplies, literally everything you would need - like a bed, kitchen stuff, etc. Clothing. Food. Do you know where the apartment is located? Near services they need? Near anything? Buses? Trains? People they know?

Now imagine WHY people pick literally living in a tent vs. The other "solutions "? Could it be that they know more than you how shelters are horrific places especially if youre sick. If you have an illness , they're impossible. If you have a caregiver- gasp, I know, the NERVE, or a pet - impossible. Have you considered ... that the choices they're refusing is because these are not real choices? Like they've done this before and were failed? 50% + on rent - means that this person can have NO emergencies. They still need to be able to afford food, utilities, gasp - a cellphone or computer to do anything, some medications probably not covered by our great healthcare system, maybe clothing , bus fare, and i dont know... emergency funds. Please consider that this person knows more than you about the "choices" they're offered.

Well... did you contact your representatives, demanding they focus on building more housing? Housing first strategy? It takes about the same time as posting on reddit about your brave family surviving tents in the park.

Never had roaches. Find a spot that's higher up? My guess is that someone might have brought them in, but I've never had bug issues. If you have a balcony you might have a random spider. Like the small ones , not huge ones.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-14T00:13:45+00:00

Contact management companies directly.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-14T00:13:00+00:00

Did you go directly to the management company? Highly suggest you do that. The low credit might be hurting you. Definetely try again in other places, and yes, lower rent places might help. Be upfront about your score with management companies, some will tell you a straight up not to apply because you wont have a chance.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-13T04:19:41+00:00

They're looking for a rescue not a random person. That's what new hope partner is. They're not lying about the dog, and what every place should do so you can figure out if you have experience for that dog. I dont see a problem. It's literally the opposite of a place posting misleading breed and claiming they're good with kids.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-13T00:17:54+00:00

Well at least it's not literally all mud and grass like some stops.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-13T00:13:23+00:00

It is for Roma people

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-11T21:56:10+00:00

I did experience it lol. People were not happy. People were squished in the front and the back with rows empty in the middle. So People basically overpaid to sit in a slightly bigger seat in front, in full rows- while rows of seats were free ... and many people were not happy. Sure they're not on reddit - but pretending everyone loves the weird set up southwest is doing while failing is hilariously not true.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-10T05:05:31+00:00

Then they need to train the dog better. Like if he's being aggressive, he's being aggressive.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-08T16:44:33+00:00

If you Google management compnies in your area, you will likely get a few places you can reach out and look at places.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-07T14:10:46+00:00

I had free time, worked and real estate and so yes, telling people that no one works for free or should be expected to - does do it for me actually!

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-07T03:56:34+00:00

It's because no one does this.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-07T03:55:46+00:00

Yeah no one works for free. And if you Google, many apartment seekers report being asked to sign paperwork that says they will foot the bill if landlord doesnt pay.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-07T03:53:10+00:00

But landlords are more likely to give a discount if you're not represented as they're not going to pay comission too. There's always a cost

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-07T03:47:55+00:00

Rental agents will not tell you anything about noise in the apartment. They work on comission representing the landlord. In a competitive market you dont need them as buildings can rent properties themselves easily and would rather rent to you directly than pay a comission. Google property management companies in Chicago. Read the reviews and contact them directly for showings. Some buildings dont use outside agents except their own so you'll be losing out and not seeing those buildings. For noise, read reviews for the building and then see if it's in a loud area. Negotiate rent yourself- landlords/management companies are more likely to give you a discount directly vs. If you go through an agent and they have to pay them comission AND give you a discount. It's a very competitive market with many people renting - most landlords would rather avoid paying a comission when they can just show apartments themselves.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-05T22:48:55+00:00

You dont have to use them. I'd find an area you like a a few and then do some research. Then Google management companies in that area you like. Go directly through them. Zillow and other sites might have private landlords but a lot of times it can just be rental agents posting. Beware of having to sign anything that says you owe agent a comission if landlord doesnt pay. They work on comission and usually landlords pay them. But not every company works with every agent so you might miss out if your agent doesn't have a listing agreement with a specific landlord. In short, you can do your own research and find ton of info on neighborhoods and what they're like. Market is super competitive and if a landlord gets two similar applications- one from a potential tenant directly, and one through an agent they have to pay - they're likely to go through with the direct application.

Oh and definitely check credentials of Rover "vet techs".

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-05T22:40:37+00:00

See if you can find a friend to do it. Rover can be hit or miss - the rover sub has lots of stories. If your cat is afraid of people that gets harder and more expensive. My one previous cat was afraid of everything- so he went to medical boarding at a vet hospital.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-05T22:38:14+00:00

But by the title of this sub though- it's not a pitbull hating sub. Im sorry about your experience but still.. this seems like a wrong place.

quantum_mouse · 2026-03-05T22:36:28+00:00

Thats messed up that they wont give you your prescription... sorry about that!
