"WHEREAS, there are more people currently experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles than were displaced by Hurricane Harvey in Houston (30,000) or the 1994 Northridge Earthquake (20,000)" From the official emergency declaration: clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/202

I just declared a state of emergency on homelessness to unlock every tool and authority at our disposal to bring unhoused Angelenos inside. This is a matter of life and death and that’s exactly how my administration will treat it. It is a new day in Los Angeles.

#TBT to one of the last pageants I competed in at 19. Took the top title. (I was supposed to fill out the dress better but as this was after the fact and a shot for my now ex-bf the dress isn't sitting exactly right.) ((Lost everything pictured to Hurricane Harvey))

This is called porta potty. I never knew this was its name until hurricane Harvey hit Houston and all toilets had to be replaced at the building where I worked. We employees had to use it for our bathroom visits. I don’t remember these are used in Pakistan.

One of the things that is pulling at my heart is the realization this may be the last Christmas at my Dad's house. After 5 years of rebuilding from Hurricane Harvey, he said he might be ready to sell. I am so torn apart by this. It is going to be a bittersweet trip home.

“We find SBA disaster loans and, more surprisingly, FEMA grants to both be regressive in allocation.” Coastal development of environmentally sensitive areas is not financially feasible without the federal backstop against inevitable losses.
