rynlingStrong chemical odor leads to evacuations, police response in Point Breeze neighborhood

Oh man. Speaking of abandoned buildings.
I got home from the library around noon yesterday to find my block swarming with Homeland Security and FEMA officers in hazmat suits. What happened was that a lady who lives next to a hoarder (who borderline-legally squats in a borderline-condemned building next to the abandoned funeral home) finally snapped and called the police about the smell. Our block captain says that, if she had to guess, the police probably assumed the guy was running a meth lab. Which he most definitely was not. He was just stinky.
If we were ordered to evacuate, nobody told us. It was kind of a block party tbh. Anyway, I hope that guy gets the help he needs, and I'm happy the lady finally got the police to respond to her requests for assistance... even if they did it in the most unhinged way possible.
