The House we live in and rented for decades

Use to have redwood siding and now it covered with aluminum siding that has no insulation value at all and is causing dry rot on the structure. The NAfta aluminum siding company did the work on that and sold the owner on that .

The owner, Bill and Hillary, who bought the residence in the 90s through his hedge fund friends found cheap labor to do the things he wanted.

They used lead base paint on the walls and exterior to fix it up which they got at the mega hardware store exported from China.

To find labor for what they do on the place was found at that store in the parking lot. We used to have union workers do the work but you know how that goes.


The plumbers, replaced the pipes we needed for kitchen but we no longer got city inspection on worked done by Bill's political cronies in city hall say that that's cool.

The house's foundation is sinking in the muck caused by the latest land fill next door. Our children get sick and complain that the house is making them ill.

The landlord says after visiting his friend George sr. in Maine says everything will be fine if we continue the course and it can be fixed by his friends.











The new mayor, Bernie, said the house needs to be condemned and the owners need to help pay for housing the community. Jimmy says he will help
build ones for them in need.
