Nothing goin’ on here but yet another building heating pipe leak in my ceiling.
When the heat is not needed - it’s blasting and I have to open windows and turn on fans.
When it’s cold, there’s no heat and I use my space heater to stay warm, boil water on the stove for some steam heat, and stay under piles of blankets in my bed.
Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. It makes me sick.

Consider how many middle class people became homeless during the 2008 mortgage crisis, and what a trauma it was when successful people became "street bums" in a matter of months. Your entire life's work snapped up by banks leaving you with just the clothes on your back.

The #Heat #Crisis Is a #Housing Crisis

"Humble told me that we talk about how sharply smoking increases lung cancer risks, up to 3,000 percent according to #government statistics. But, he added, “being #homeless increases your chance of dying from heat in Phoenix by 50,000 percent.”

Add #Sylacauga ("SILL-ah-KA-gah") #Alabama to the list of towns where #Haitian #immigrants were brought in and dumped in the middle of the night:

https://www.al.com/news/2024/09/sylacauga-council-member-fears-civil-unrest-over-haitian-migrants-when-is-enough-enough.html

Sylacauga City council member Laura Barlow Heath, in a video interview, said the city officials have no answers from federal authorities to give to their constituents.
.
“There is a fear here of becoming the next #Springfield, #Ohio, you know,” she said.
.
“When is enough enough? When do they stop coming in? How many are there going to be? There’s no answers. We have none. The unknown and uncertainty is scary. We have 12,236 people in our community, and we just do not have the adequate resources to handle an influx of migrants. It’s going to take away from resources that are already struggling here.”
.
Heath has served on the council since 2020.
.
The council dismissed a meeting earlier this month after only 20 minutes following questions from several residents about recent Haitian immigration to the area.
.
Several residents said they wanted to know how the city knew workers coming there were legal immigrants, who had determined this, and what effect they were having on #crime and #housing.

Also add #Athens Alabama and #Albertville Alabama to the list with an immigrant dumping problem: https://www.al.com/news/2024/08/busing-of-migrant-workers-to-alabama-poultry-plant-sparks-baseless-accusations-and-hurtful-rhetoric.html?_sp=9a39c6be-6aac-4c4f-88fa-453976aa825c.1725304070871

Last week, photographs of people entering and exiting charter buses in Albertville were shared on Facebook, with users questioning what purpose the buses served, who was on them, and where they were coming from.
.
Albertville police notified the public through Facebook late last week that the buses were transporting workers.
.
“We have contacted the bus company in question and they advised us that they have been contracted by a local company to transport workers to and from work,” the department stated.
...
Albertville city leaders also released a statement, saying they wanted to “make it abundantly clear that Albertville is not a #sanctuarycity, has never received funding to harbor individuals from any country, nor have any of our elected officials been involved in such activities.”
.
Immigration for years has a hot-button issue in Albertville, a Marshall County city of almost 23,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which lists four poultry processing businesses on its city website as its largest employers, with almost 4,000 workers total among them. Approximately 6,400 residents of Albertville are identified as Hispanic, as of 2022 census figures.

In Athens Alabama: https://www.rocketcitynow.com/article/news/local/city-athens-police-respond-community-comments-haitian-immigrants/525-d40a7cf8-f214-4ee1-aebb-05151d67033d

This comes from a statement from the city of #Athens in response to some residents taking to social media and city council meetings to express their thoughts on the recent arrival of immigrants from #Haiti in North Alabama.
.
City officials say that federal officials have told them that that there are new immigrants from Haiti with federal work permits in the area, and they are here working legally in Alabama. Businesses in North Alabama have hired them and, in some cases, have hired buses to take them to work sites.
