Opposed to tiny houses in his district because of concerns from angry residents. Someone monitoring the site otherwise itll be a free for all itll be sex drugs and rocknroll and.

Thats considered a faulty item so its going in the dumpster. Almost breaking and christines belongings are taken by the department of sanitation but residents not around so only christine is here to see it they say you know hit well i mean to hit rock bottom. I didnt run five every year. Was. All that money spent. You could spend half of that and give these people a place to go but instead theyre treated like. With ravens camp demolished most of her positions gone and with a baby on the way elvis must deliver her tiny house before nightfall to close with him. I finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. Affect anybody. Elvis and raven hoped this part of downtown l. A. Away from skid row would be safe from the authorities. Both already hes a must continue to keep l. A. Streets clean days finally. For the time he has delivery and how you feeling very good spite im. Going to drop out of this i am going through a lot of hardship to sell this tiny house the suburban house. After the week that shes had and everything shes gone through on top of the in fragments its more important now that she gets the house because i dont think she can go much longer not get any rest. You really feel if. I do. Think. I think. Im going to think that. Most things i do in life are out of principle. I was taught that somebody falls down you pick them back up. Thats what we should do a lifes. To remember that you know you know. You called me and said. You know people sit on the back porch and. Look at the stars so i want looking up at the entire area have thirty to see it sit another good tired but good stars its got a magic. So finally raven gets her own private space.
