Picture this: Over
the weekend a small group of tenant native elders who must use a walker to
move about decided to sit in front of the KMHC building on a nice summer
evening, chatting among themselves and enjoying the weather. Seems ok right! Well the KMHC office personnel think
differently there is a tenant notice on the bulletin board in bold letters “No
Loitering” in the front entrance and suggest tenants sit where the park benches are
located at the courtyard. As I’ve said
in the past the courtyard is located at the far south end from the building, a distance
especially for tenants who have a disability. What’s insulting about the notice (judging by the
writings I know who wrote it) the tenants are referred to as loiterers. Since when are native elders who pay rent
considered vagrants! Personally I have no problem with tenants who
wish to sit at the entrance area as long as they keep the volume down and don’t
block the entrance door. A few years ago
we use to have a park bench at the entrance which was useful in many ways then
one day it was removed. The KMHC
building has no lobby a design flaw UNH’s ignored to correct when they purchased
the building many moons ago.
Until next time play safe.
I would like to publicly thank UNH’s maintenance department
for responding to my fax request to trim the small trees located at the front of the KMHC building mind you it
did take two weeks to get it done, better late then never I suppose. ;)
Here’s a story I want to share: Remember the situation I had with tenant Dean! It’s obvious the man has social problems and
I understand that but when the KMHC office or the police can’t shut his verbal
insults I was forced to resolve the problem myself. Last year while having a discussion with HOW
Christine Demick about Dean she said there is nothing UNH’s can do outside the
building property. Then one day back in February
while coming home from the mall and far from the KMHC building I came across
Dean on the street immediately he began mouthing off insults. I thought ok I’ve had enough of his bullshit so
I challenged him. He swung at me, he
missed I then retaliated with a solid punch in the face, he backed off and walked
away. He hasn’t said a word to me since,
problem solved.
Until next time play safe.
