I've received information that Camp Rhonda, which I have written several stories about, will be shut down by the property owner, Johnny Aguinaga. Previously, the city of Dallas had given him a citation notice which potentially could have cost him up to $5,000 a day.
Recently, Johnny Aguinaga had been posting about how he had a plan to solve homelessness in Dallas. Notably, Johnny is a real estate developer who is also running for city council.
I have placed a request for information to the city of Dallas to understand if anything was done on their end to influence this decision, and whether they have any intention to have a plan to help the residents of Camp Rhonda
Thank you for bringing this to my attention

An update: code compliance has "educated" the property owner "to comply with zoning" and suggested that this is beneficial for the health of all.

We've got an urgent situation in Dallas. @NotMySonDFW has put up approximately 600 families across 6 hotels but have run into a cash squeeze. Their @CashApp account is restricted and families may be kicked out of the hotel if they cannot pay down the money today. (1/)
The stories I've heard about what has happened to these families are horrific.

If anyone can bring CASH, that would be helpful. Drop off location La Quinta 13175 N Central Expressway.

Hey Texas, if you've been very upset about the way your local and state government has handled this crisis, I would encourage you to start thinking about starting campaigns to Unelect Your Government.

It really doesn't take that many votes to unseat a city council or state rep.
Some of them might say things like "We didn't see this coming, no one could have predicted this!"

And that will be total bullshit! This was forecasted by @NatGeo back in January!

Some of them may also say that now is not the time to politicize the crisis. Which will also be total bullshit! Because they are politicians and it's their entire job to do politics! And shitty politics is what caused this crisis to spin out of control!

Some mutual aid groups in Texas have had their @Venmo and @CashApp accounts put on hold due to the influx of donations and the large amount of disbursements to meet the demand for relief across Texas.

@NTRR4yall is asking for you tell these companies to #StopTheHolds Image

This made me tear up.

Immense gratitude to everyone who has donated to @feedtheppldfw to help out North Texans in need.
This is truly what community looks like. We've been abandoned by our government but we have not abandoned each other.
I didn't realize Reese was a radical anarchist, that's awesome

Basically, all of Texas' infrastructure is now in a state of failure. Millions are without power. Hundreds of thousands of people if not millions currently do not have access to drinking water. Hundreds of thousands of people's homes are likely to be damaged by bursting pipes.
This disaster has unleashed untold suffering on the population of a state that has suffered greatly over the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Our state government has failed us.
It is unclear how long it will take to correct for the damage done by this winter hell storm.

Emergency relief will be necessary.
