As everything has to "season," like a good cast iron pot.

I like to put a pot together at work  when  it gets big.  

Allysa, took me 10 years or so.There is no one moment that I would say I was the proudest.There was no turning point where everything changed.I guess the analogy is like that of the frog who fell to a warm pot of water that is slowly being heated.It took me hustle, hard work and consistent action.

It cost me about $1000 to get all the supplies needed at the beginning (fresh water and sewer hoses, dishes, pots, pans, bedding, etc.)

They have voluntarily devalued their property over the years and they can’t pretend to now be business minded.I am “nice”, but I run a business and rents go up.

Simply put, if you are going to allow for the freedom that the US Constitution gives, you have to accept that some portion of the population will use that freedom to live in a manner that prevents them from being sheltered, either voluntarily or as a result of decisions freely made. 

But you could also buy a $30 coffee pot, 500 filters for $12, and coffee packets that enable your cleaner to set out a couple for each new guest to at least get them started.

BUT, last time I tried this I learned that if they don't voluntarily move out AFTER a court order Eviction, you then go back to the courts to get a WRIT of Assistance to 'allow' the Sheriff to 'Assist' in the Eviction.

They spout out a mandate, and demand things like the out of touch individuals they are.Your job, the local bar, the movie theater, and most everything else is shut down or limited because those businesses decided to do it voluntarily!
