I found Sacramento very expensive for me, an old man. So once I received UC-Davis Medical Center okay, I thought hard about staying in Sacto, given how hard it is for an old person to live there. No public transportation past 10:30 and nearly all the buses shut down at 8 P.M. Housing is ridiculous--share an apartment with one or two others if you're poor or just living on social security. Great medical, but that's about all you can say positive about city living, if you don't make money.
Then, when I came back to El Paso, I was fleeced by the landlord of a place I thought I could afford; and must move out by 12/17, even though I paid a month's rent! I guess there's these shysters wherever you go. I wish I could report him without blacklisting me with other landlords! But I would never take the chance. The Inn he manages is on Alameda Street.
I hope I've got something in the downtown area that should materialize by then. Otherwise, I'll try the shelters--Salvation Army first. It would be nice to have the security of a Section 8, but when you've moved around as much as I have I would hardly qualify in my lifetime! The waiting lists are so long.
