Coming of age is not just turning 18, or a line you cross into adulthood. Coming of age is about learning and becoming who you are meant to be. This is my short coming of age story.

Louisville’s Leadership Crisis — A Call for Accountability Louisville is spending millions — yet watching homelessness double. Since 2019, the city’s unhoused population has climbed from around 1,100 to more than 2,300 people, despite over $167 million poured into “solutions.” That includes $87 million in federal COVID relief funds, meant to create permanent housing and stability. Instead, the results are buried in bureaucracy and broken promises. Encampments grow under overpasses while empty buildings sit unused. Families wait months for vouchers that never come. Neighborhoods once affordable to working people are now being bought out by investors, pushing residents deeper into poverty. Where is the accountability? Where are the results? Louisville doesn’t lack ideas — it lacks the will to listen. Local developers and community advocates have real solutions that could turn vacant structures into affordable homes, but City Hall won’t act.
