should I send them this: Thank you very much for your brief response, which, actually, still leaves our main many-year problem unresolved. I am disappointed with your conclusion regarding the discrimination allegations. My experiences and feelings of discrimination remain unchanged and are deeply distressing. Despite this, I remain open to a fair and amicable resolution regarding the judgment lien on my property First of all, what do you mean stating that the “City doesn't believe any further action is necessary at this time”.? What actions do you believe might be necessary at this time on our side and on the side of the City of San Mateo for resolving the problem of Judgment Lien imposed on our current property? Based on the information previously provided, it becomes quite obvious that the Judgment Lien had been unlawfully/wrongfully and unfairly imposed on our current property many years and, since that time has been increased from $*,* to $*,*, which appears absolutely disastrous and devastating to me and my husband Both of us have been living under incredible stress and constant fear of losing our current property and becoming homeless. As a result of all this trouble, I have developed a bunch of very serious chronic psychiatric illnesses, such as Severe Major Depression, Recurrent with psychotic features, Severe Anxiety, Panic and Bipolar Disorders and aggressive Insomnia, which put me and my husband in a blank despair and has ultimately led to my long-term Social Security disability I have been entitled to since January *. My very poor mental condition manifested as profound moodiness, elevated nervousness and irritability, cognitive impairment, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and guilt, frequent long-lasting panic attacks associated with grim intrusive thoughts and ideas about senselessness & meaningless of my life, durable uncontrolled spells of crying, difficulties breathing, frequent heartbeat and constant fears of losing our current residence due to unlawfully imposed judgment lien, etc. My sleep has become very disturbed, and, despite the ongoing regular psychiatric/psychological treatment provided by my treating psychiatrist with utilizing various drastic medications, changing their doses & combinations and applying Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation treatment of my brain, my mental condition has been continuing to further exacerbate and deteriorate, which, according to my psychiatrist, puts me in jeopardy. The only way to give me and my husband, who has actually also become profoundly depressed and anxious, some relief in this regard is to eliminate or, at least, to substantially decrease the wrongfully imposed judgment lion on the property where we are currently residing. I would be greatly appreciative to you for transferring the issues raised in this desperate letter to the City of SF, City Manager and Human Resources Director for further consideration. Your prompt response will be also greatly appreciated.
