Automatic Front Door



Facsimile of the automated front door.

 Lately I noticed the automatic front door does not always close and lock properly perhaps it’s due to the change of weather or its old and needs to be replaced.  Whatever the reason it’s a security risk to the occupants of this building. Yesterday I brought my concern to the Super’s attention while she was on her smoke break, her response was “That’s why there’s a sign on the door”  Well Jan just because you post a sign on the door doesn't mean the problem is solved. :P
Hmm a few things I want to point out, first I’ve read the sign it’s been there for many months and I thought it was temporary.  Also some of the elder tenants have disabilities and need to pay full attention while using their walkers/scooters and shouldn’t be expected to wait around hoping that a slow moving automated door will close properly.  There is not one apt building in Hamilton that has this door problem and if they did it would be corrected immediately.  
Last night I came home from the gym and guess what! The door was ajar so I took it upon my self to make sure it’s locked after I came in.  Mark my words!  Guess who will get blamed by the office if a stranger comes in off the street and is seen wondering the halls on their fucking cameras…the tenants.  
This is a housing issue, not a tenant issue!  Fix or replace the door you cheap bitches….the rent has been paid. :P

A Friday funny moment – As I was walking by the office I waved at Charles and Deb a good night and I didn’t see Ingrid standing there. She probably thought I was waving at her too....then ran to her little cubical office, closed the door and started ticking herself where no real man has gone before.  ZING!  :D

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before.  After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost.  When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go.  I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
