The view from the Tenderloin
The View from the Tenderloin:
The impact of this Plague is breathtaking. Seeing the City this empty is surreal. The masks. I've been wearing mine, not only in the public areas of buildings, but more and more on the street. On a personal level, the impact on my household, even though all three of us contracted it and are immune now, is horrific. Normally I have two housemates. One of them is homeless and comes and goes randomly, the other has an SRO room in a nightmare of a building, and hates to use it. I am in the process of moving into senior housing, and with the shelter in place rules, neither will be able to come over. I understand the ones reluctance to use the SRO room, I've lived in that building, and nightmare doesn't even do it justice. I got permission from the manager here at Hyde Street to have my homeless buddy here for a few days to help me move. He and I are old friends of four years, and we have been through it. I am beyond appalled to have to send him back out there during this pandemic. It is a nightmare. The stress levels from all this are toxic, an ordeal within an ordeal.
Try to hold those dear to you close
