Subject: Fw: 1-30-20 URGENT: SEEKING SAFE-HOUSING SUPPORT FROM A CITY OF AUSTIN OFFICIAL
I would appreciate a reply letter from any of you City Government of Austin officials, including the City of Austin's current respective liaisons to the Texas Municipal League or to the Travis County Commissioners Court or County Judge Eckhardt or to the Texas Senate or to State Senator Watson, in direct response to the following (below) e-mail letter from me.
Please note that I am seeking to obtain a written reply message from ANY of you that directly states whether you support safe housing conditions for me during my sleeping hours and napping hours inside my current bolt-locked solo-occupancy (only myself, and I ALWAYS sleep ALONE or nap ALONE on my own bed) efficiency rental-apartment unit at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, in north Austin. (I should politely emphasize that my housing conditions inside my bolt-locked current rental unit at Pebble Creek Apartments are quite comfortable for me at all times during any and all of my NON-sleeping or NON-napping hours.)
I need to explain that I myself am defining safe housing conditions as housing conditions in which NO ONE but myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, is physically present ANYWHERE inside my current bolt-locked and fully-secured solo-occupancy efficiency apartment unit at ANY time during my sleeping hours or napping hours as I lie alone, asleep and unconscious, on my own bed.
I need to also clarify why I am seeking a reply letter from any of you City of Austin officials that directly states whether you support safe-housing conditions for me inside my current bolt-locked apartment unit in Austin. So far, no City Government of Austin official whom I have contacted has directly addressed that subject in a reply letter to me.
By contrast, a very honorable Travis County Government official who represents me on the County Commissioners Court, County Judge Sarah Eckhardt, and a very distinguished and honorable former mayor of Austin and current State Senator from Austin who directly represents me in the Texas Legislature, Senator Kirk Watson, have each sent me very recent respective reply e-mail notes stating that each of them supports safe housing conditions for me inside my current bolt-locked apartment unit in Austin, Texas.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Dear Very Influential City Government of Austin officials in this state-capital city for Texas,
I would appreciate receiving a reply letter from ANY of you very influential City Government of Austin officials, in which you simply state to me whether you yourself support safe housing conditions for me inside my current apartment unit during my sleeping hours---housing conditions in which NO ONE but myself is physically present ANYWHERE inside my current bolt-locked and fully-secured solo-occupancy efficiency apartment unit at any time during my own sleeping hours as I lie alone, asleep and unconscious, on my own bed.
I need to also take this opportunity to politely point out that so far, no City Government of Austin official (see below for some of the City of Austin officials I've contacted about this in recent months) has been willing to write and send me a written assurance on this very major public-policy-related issue for me.
However, I did receive very recent reply e-mail letters from Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt and State Senator Kirk Watson, respectively, in which each of them kindly stated to me in writing that they each support safe housing conditions for everyone, including myself, here in Austin, Texas. I am very grateful to each of those two elected officials for having provided me with that very helpful written statement on behalf of Travis County Government and the State Government of Texas, respectively.

Dear District 4 Representative Casar,
...
One follow-up question for you, Council Member Casar:
Do you support safe sleeping conditions for me on a daily and year-round basis as I lie alone on my own bed, asleep and unconscious, inside my bolt-locked and fully-secured solo-occupancy efficiency rental apartment unit in your district?

I would appreciate receiving a written statement from you in regard to whether the Austin Police Department and the City Government of Austin both support safe housing conditions for myself on a 24-hour-a-day basis, including during my sleeping hours as I lie alone, asleep and unconscious and probably also snoring, on my own bed inside a locked apartment unit in northwest Austin.
