Re: Re: PRIORY IN SICKNESSES/SCHALLER, MD

I especially think the intervention squad would be useful because when

people get really sick, it takes them forever to get their stuff packed up.

But they need to get out as quickly as possible, but they can't. They don't

have the strength.

Plus, it would put the neighbors on warning that the space that was being

moved out of was a mold situation.

(If the situation was really bad, the helpers could wear PPE and whether it

was that bad or not, they could (if the person moving wanted them to) hand

out cards to the neighbors giving links to mold resources if THEY got sick..

and links to a web site where the person who was leaving's public data on

the situation could be made really public.

Then later on the neighbors could give the new tenants one of these cards -

and that would let them check out the situation on the website so that they

could make sure that the mold had been fixed by the landlord, and not merely

covered up..

This would provide a check on dishonest landlords who evict 'complainers'

and then don't even clean up the mold!

Actually, I have been staying in touch with a group of people who are acting

as sort of ny Appleseeds to a whole new generation of geographically

enabled web applications along the lines of Google Maps..

Something similar could be done with sick - or well - buildings.. basically,

a web site where people could post their experiences, good or bad, with

buildings or other places, based on their geographic location.. and those

comments would persist.. they would not be deletable.. however, people could

add their own comments later on..

This kind of web app would be useful for people to meet neighbors, make new

friends, etc, not just to help people avoid moving into moldy buildings,

etc..
