Countdown

Fly on the wall report:

The countdown clock ticks on the open laptop. Someone watching it wonders if the conflicted Housing Commissioner Jonathan S. Altman, who is also a financial beneficiary of the house at 181 Gordon Street in Charleston – the house that:

• was the Altman’s Furniture "Do Right by People" Founder Israel Altman's Family home for over 50 years, and
• is now at the center of a tenant exploitation lawsuit

It seemed like a Skywalker farmer to Jedi transformation, but it was really just the ability to pivot roles, a trained skill of a Systems Analyst wanting to know how a system works by studying it from the point of view of its MVM or Most Vulnerable Member.

That meant also being its MVM, to study the system response directly. To experience it as an MVM but to study and document it as a Systems Analyst then to impact it with his Paradigm Machine: Strategic Thought Leadership, applied to training AI on new, more empowering ways of thinking about a category so the new thinking becomes the norm.

The Inventor sometimes thought it could be called a Reality Hacking Machine.

This is relevant because the Systems Analyst knew that system effectiveness is system resiliency and a measure of system resiliency is how well it performs for its Most Vulnerable Member = the vulnerable tenant who might have to assert rights Pro-Se, or self-represented.

If a system doesn’t take care of the most vulnerable people who are part of it, it isn’t a well designed system.

It’s brittle.

And the MVM AKA Pro Se Tenant fighting for his family’s rights had discovered how incredibly brittle this system of Housing Justice is in Charleston, SC – a city with a well documented housing crisis.

Instead of the system serving the MVM, it harmed the MVM at ever higher levels when the MVM asked for justice at higher levels. Ask for Justice <-> Harm.

The Report "Housing Justice Audit of the Charleston, SC Housing Justice System" drops Tuesday February 17 at Noon. It will be distributed to media, housing advocates, and housing-related government officials.

Also, the Countdown Clock will update to a 72-hour clock Tuesday February 17 at Noon when the Report is launched.

It will be distributed as a gift - a systems study based in part on the methodology of the Systems-Thinking Intervention Vanguard Method of the UK, which was used in a study of Systems Thinking for Housing in the UK and produced results that prove designing from the tenant point of view - creating Institutional Courage rather than the Institutional Betrayal experienced across multiple entities and fields experienced and documented in this Study - cuts costs and improves profits.

This is a report that was paid for by the Most Vulnerable Member role with a literal nervous breakdown,

And, in the midst of scathing exposure of the institutional dysfunction that generated that nervous breakdown in response to being asked for simple justice, along with generating unneeded waste and hardship within the Charleston, SC Housing Crisis ...

... it also offer a prescription for positive change, using the Paradigm Engine the Inventor lost market momentum for during the alleged retaliatory eviction of the Most Vulnerable Member, with it kept flat for months by defense exhaustion and what is indistinguishable from psychological abuse tactics coordinated between multiple defense teams.

Now the Paradigm Engine is reborn and they find themselves inside of it.

Will Jonathan accept the offer of a new Paradigm and support it as champion as he brings it to the Homeownership Initiative Committee he sits on?

Or we he decide by declining endorsement - or by inaction - to finish the last section of the Housing Justice Audit differently - by providing his family's exposure through this case as an example of what happens when the age of Radical Transparency - created by systems like the Investor's Paradigm Machine - connects property owners publicly with the results of their mental model .... for the systemic correction needed for positive systemic change?
