Tony,

I'm sorry you are having such a rough go of it.  Your situation
definitely calls for some outside help.  I can sympathize with the type
of living conditions you are having to put up with and that is exactly
why Section 8 housing is not welcome in a lot of areas. It is very
likely that when some of your undesirable neighbors move out at some
future time their apartment will be trashed big time. Unfortunately it
is a bad rap for those of you who truly need it. 

I'm wondering though, if you are alone, unemployed and have no family
close by, why stay in the Los Angeles area?  Los Angeles, and other
large metropolitan areas in California are extremely expensive to live
in.  there are some inexpensive areas in this state left to live
in....the catch is there isn't much in the way of employment.  Since it
may be a long long time before you can work again anyway why not check
into this? Getting away from the stress of big city life may hasten your
recovery.

Get a California map and check out the web sites on some of these
smaller towns.  I think some of these Chamber of Commerce groups may
have web sites promoting their particular area.  If the areas are low in
rent and in crime this will certainly be pointed out.

Best of luck to you.  Let us know how everything works out.
