Note: I'm sorry I have no cloud photography available, the clouds have been rather boring so I have none to share at this time.
I once had a hard time trying to stay in a San Francisco flat room rental for $250/mo. back in 1998 after the leaseholder took off leaving me with someone I didn't know. I had been living there 2.5 years. I later learned the other roommate had been evicted in San Francisco court 5 times in the past 5 years including from the Progress Foundation.
My former problematic roommate from 1996-99, Joyce Cassells, is seen in this Google Street view at her window (left) in some kind of costume but it wasn't Halloween, it was on March, 2022.
After noting this odd photo, it was a signal to me I better check online what the lady's been up to. I actually discovered a case that had a serious injury of a journalist, Jackson West, on his bicycle due to negligent driving of this roomie.
Jackson West blog post:
"So this was me last night after waking up at San Francisco General Tuesday night. Some time around 6:00pm I was hit by a car while cycling to meet Robby for a ride. Not sure when or where or by whom, exactly! A concussion erased my memory about back to when I’d left my house earlier and some time after (thank goodness I was wearing a helmet, because if the fall hadn’t killed me the irony would have).
I asked Riana, who took the photo, to collect what she knows from my reports and those given to her at the ER.
Some notes on the accident Tuesday and its aftermath, with more details to come after my consult tomorrow morning, get a chance to see how a bike named Sue is doing and maybe convince someone to get a copy of the accident report. Really, thanks to everyone for the kind words, visits and support. It’s not just the drugs making me maudlin, I really do feel incredibly grateful."
The accident case ended with a settlement but years later Jackson has since lost his rising career still suffering from injuries. It's too bad the SFPD focused on me as the problem roommate from Cassells' multiple complaints not considering my side of the matter whatsoever. I was employed at the time on the night shift of Morrison & Foerester. LLP.
Cassells ended up with a rent controlled flat with 3.5 bedrooms, and a two car garage for $1,250 in 1999 after I left of my own free will due to police harassment. I've never been evicted in all my 63 years on this planet always paying my rent on time!
Coincidentally, I was also seriously injured having been hit on my eBike a few weeks after Jackson's accident on October 30, 2012.
