The day my husband and I went to meet Michelle to move into the &#8220;QUARTERS&#8221; <strong>a young lady was approaching her &#8220;USED&#8221; moped<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband proceeded to speak with her as he wanted to know the &#8220;<strong>COST&#8221; per month<\/strong> on that <strong>2-wheel item.<\/strong> We were looking into purchasing one also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he approached the young lady, Michelle tried to stop him, she said <strong>we (meaning residents)<\/strong> <strong>don&#8217;t deal with the J1&#8217;s<\/strong>. Anyway my husband proceeded to ask the young lady <strong>&#8220;HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY FOR THAT THING?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOUNG LADY RESPONDED<\/strong>: <strong>$250.00 per month<\/strong>. At that time Michelle was trying desperately to get my husband&#8217;s attention because he was asking questions connected to that moped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my husband returned <strong>he said to Michelle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;THAT&#8217;S A LOT OF MONEY TO BE PAYING FOR USED CRAP&#8221;<\/strong>. <strong>YOU CAN BUY THEM ALL DAY FOR $800.00&#8243; Somebody is making a lot of money. Everyone knows where these high priced items come from. Michelle, did not respond.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IT MAKES ME WONDER.<\/strong>  Do these <strong>&#8220;hotels&#8221; <\/strong>get a little kick back for <strong>promoting these bikes to the J1&#8217;s.<\/strong> Try giving them a car at that price, <strong>it&#8217;s much safer<\/strong>.  These <strong>J1&#8217;s are getting screwed<\/strong> at <strong>every angle<\/strong>. Local people rent cars for <strong>$250.00 per <\/strong>month, while the\u00a0<strong>J1&#8217;s ride 2-wheel bikes at that price<\/strong>, AND <strong>sleep<\/strong> <strong>in a 1-room hole, with &#8220;3-OTHER PEOPLE&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>4 PEOPLE IN A NASTY SMELLING RAT HOLE ROOM<\/strong>. <strong>ASK THEM AT THE ENCLAVE AND QUARTERS IS THAT HOW THEY OPERATE<\/strong>. &#8211; They might be truthful. MAYBE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then proceeded <strong>into the &#8220;SCAM&#8221; hotel business building<\/strong> to take our <strong>first look<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SO WHY I DO WHAT I DO?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that I do what I do, is because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bransonmo.gov\/civicalerts.aspx?AID=1803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>&#8220;LODGING SAFETY INITIATIVE&#8221; <\/strong><\/a>program is new, and <strong>needs a little guidance from me<\/strong>. It was formed <strong>due to &#8220;MY&#8221; spoken words through &#8220;MY&#8221; blog<\/strong> that <strong>put on display for Branson and the world to see, the &#8220;PAIN&#8221; and &#8220;SUFFERING&#8221; many of Branson&#8217;s &#8220;BACKBONE&#8221; &#8220;PO&#8221; folk workers deal with daily.<\/strong> I am <strong>still searching<\/strong> for a way out of this <strong>hotel game situation<\/strong>, but <strong>while doing so, I am going to help others along the way<\/strong>, if they ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When that program was introduced, I had people <strong>like &#8220;LONG-TERMER&#8221; say &#8220;Look Anita, You Gonna Have Us Living In A Tent&#8221; <\/strong>We know they (<strong>meaning city officials<\/strong>) are doing this<strong> because of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Due to spoken words<\/strong> like that, <strong>I have taken the &#8220;INITIATIVE&#8221; <\/strong>to work closely with <strong>&#8220;ALL ENTITIES&#8221; including &#8220;BRANSON POLICE DEPT.&#8221; to assure people will move with dignity and respect, and eat while they make the transition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <strong>because of &#8220;MY&#8221; actions, and &#8220;THEIR&#8221; newly introduced &#8220;Lodging Safety Initiative&#8221; program<\/strong> that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bransonoutreach.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;BRANSONOUTREACH&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> was formed. This program works <strong>&#8220;IN&#8221;<\/strong> <strong>the community<\/strong>, <strong>&#8220;FOR&#8221;<\/strong> <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>community<\/strong>, and in <strong>conjunctions with all Local, State, and Federal agencies<\/strong> to <strong>help identify, contain, and hopefully, dissolve the growing homeless population in Branson<\/strong>. This is done with a <strong>group of selfless people<\/strong> known as the &#8220;<strong>BRANSON OUTREACH WARRIORS&#8221; (AKA) &#8220;BRANSON FACEBOOK WARRIORS.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the inception of the<strong> &#8220;LODGING SAFETY INITIATIVE&#8221;<\/strong> <strong>&#8220;I and the Branson Outreach Warriors&#8221; <\/strong>have played a vital role in making sure those who are forced out, due to<strong> property &#8220;OWNERS&#8221; lack<\/strong> of paperwork, <strong>license, etc.<\/strong>, are moving <strong>without inciden<\/strong>t, and they are <strong>moving with respect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I am in constant contact with &#8220;EVERY&#8221; entity I feel needs to be involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More important, I am trying to get <strong>city officials to understand the importance of providing &#8220;LONG-TERM&#8221; housing for the community, within the community that will rid us of these &#8220;OUT BY 5&#8221; entities like the Enclaves and Quarters.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scammers <strong>should &#8220;NOT&#8221; be allowed to operate within the city limits<\/strong> as far as I am concerned.  If a scam takes place and city is forced to shutdown a hotel, whether it be for repairs or neglect, <strong>&#8220;MAKE THE OWNERS&#8221;<\/strong> who have <strong>taken peoples livelihoods<\/strong> away after taking their money, be <strong>&#8220;RESPONSIBLE TO REIMBURSE THE CITY AS THE CITY SHOULD PUT A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY AND TAKE APPROPRIATE STEPS THEREAFTER.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, <strong>Myself, and the &#8220;Branson Outreach Warriors&#8221; have helped 100&#8217;s of families obtain food, clothing, heating, etc., we have also raised funds to help with automobile purchase and auto needs.
