I lived most of my life in Oakland and the surrounding area. I poured my heart and soul into that city, but eventually even I had to leave. A century and a half of graft, corruption, and ineptitude turned what could have been the nation's finest city into a hollow shell of what it should have been.
I'm happy in Austin, Texas. There are certain things I miss in California, most of which are in Los Angeles, but the state is such a mess I can't imagine moving back.
Jared so nice to hear your reuniting with your aunt and uncle. Family is so important. I know deep in my soul even though I have never met you in person things will come your way as far as helping with addiction. You have so much to say and experience on how to help. It is horrible that politicians don’t give a shit. So God leads us to where you are suppose to be. Keep your heart open keep your ears listening and keep on trucking. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! Also glad you are handed. It is so true that so many don’t even own a screw driver!!! You have job security in being able to work with your hands. Lots of prayers🙏
Glad no one is taking you in. You need to have your own organization. Your own movement of sober people re-building America and reclaiming pride in trade work. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Jared. Enjoy your family reunion and don’t give up on your ambitions to bring about social change - it’s crazy that politicians aren’t listening to someone like yourself who has inside knowledge of addiction and homelessness together with some great ideas - they may be more receptive when your book is published - btw the Tribe Sober podcast episode you did has had more than 1,000 downloads - take care.

So sad as this is what is happening in CA every where. I love CA I am a native. Would love to move back but with everything going on there is no way
