Low-income housing (continued):
Another thing about these low-income apartments for disabled people is that, maybe there are apartments that are low income and have those amenities but, if they do, those apartments are only offered to people over the ages of 50, 55, or 60. I really think that also needs to change and have lower income apartments be for all ages of adults with disabilities. Some people with disabilities might not have the best physical coordination either, when it comes to washing dishes by hand.
AS far as rules for living in low-income housing apartments and what not, I also feel that they need to change the rules and not be so strict with everyone who moves into these apartments, and they should look at each tenant's situation, more case by case. I think in some cases, if the tenant wants to have someone move into their unit with them who isn't a member of their immediate family, I feel that should be their right. And if they want to have a pet living with them, and not just because they're a service pet, then that should be their right. And if they can handle having more than one pet living with them at a time, like maybe 2 or 3 pets, that should be their right, as well. But I agree they still need to draw the line, somewhere.

Ok, enough with the leisure posts. If truth be told, I think there's a lot of things I would like to see happen in the Disability community for people like myself, as well as all types of disabilities. Not just the usual intellectual disabilities or physical disabilities. It's a shame that while the other 40 states have accepted expansion of Medicaid, our state has NOT!!! Damn those greedy Republicans!!! Oink! Oink! Oink! 

Anyway, if they were to expand Medicaid, I think one thing they could do is, if the low-income apartments for disabled people, I do feel that some of those apartments could definitely stand to have better amenities. And maybe not always be so strict with everyone who lives there. Now, when I was looking at low-income apartments in the past decade, it showed that some of these apartments did have nicer amenities, but to live there you had to be over 50 or 55 to live there. Honestly, I don't think you should have to be over 50 to live somewhere like that. I think everyone with a disability who lives in a low income should have a right to better amenities in the unit. That means every unit comes with an air conditioner that cools every room and is digital, not the old-fashioned model, a heater that warms every room during the late fall, winter and early spring months; Again, have it be a digital one, not the old-fashioned model. That every unit has an oven and stove, a built in Microwave, and a dishwasher. And in case the tenant is in a wheelchair, maybe there could be a special button they can push that just opens the dishwasher door a certain way, so they won't have to maneuver their wheelchair around so much, just to load and unload it when getting dishes in and out of there. These units should also I think have a washing machine and dryer in the unit, because for one, you would be saving possibly a lot of money by doing your laundry in the unit and not having to worry about the possibility of your laundry getting lost in someone else's laundry. Another thing that low-income apartments have I think are peep holes in the doors. And they should have bigger and multiple peep holes going down the door, as well as a security camera in front of your door-way so you know who's at your door, before you even open it. Especially if you're living in one of those apartments that sort of look like motel rooms, where you don't go inside the building to get into your unit. Because things can happen. While I was living in this low-income apartment in Waukesha, Hickory Hill Flats, management was a total joke. Some guy would go around in the middle of the night anywhere between 10 at night and 5 in the morning, and ring people's doorbells and then run away. And managers brushed me off saying the person doing it was probably a kid. Why would a kid come sneaking around in the middle of the night, just to go harassing some disabled individuals who are trying to sleep at night? Makes absolutely no sense. There were no peep holes in the door, and no security camera to show and record whoever the hell was doing that, so I had no way of providing evidence, which is what I needed to provide to the police in Waukesha, in order for them to do anything. So I HAD to move out of there in the spring of 2017. But that's not the only reason. 

want to be able to create a photo album on here, but nothing exciting has happened for me to even upload any new photos. At the same time, there's no link or button go press to create a photo album. Why can't I type tonight?!!
