CRITICAL LEVELS of homelessness by (me!) -tops


i think especially because prior to living in san jose, i lived in (6 different places within) pleasanton 
for 20+ years
both the size of san jose itself; and the size of their problems
seem much bigger

and it's not unique to san jose   -recalling here homeless problem in san leandro recently discussed

homelessness is at crisis/critical levels across the u.s. it seems


above is one solution
of course, this does not solve the problem of homelessness itself
but it has successfully solved the problem
of having homeless populate this specific corner/onway ramp area to the freeway.

not too long ago, it was dense! with what appeared to be trash, tents, 
garbage of many different kinds.. and a large number of homeless people
it looked similar to the picture below, but add even more garbage and people

we drive the route infrequently, but wow! to when i saw the rock pile..
like, "it worked!"  

/that is, it worked at re-locating...

but, i wonder..

how many rocks would it take..  and where do the homeless people go?
and how much of our landscape, what percentage do we want to become rock piles?



 i am aware i am not pointing out something that is not already obvious,  -and as i've already discussed/written about my own value system:  human dignity..

like, while we are trying to solve the much larger problem, i would love it if, we could take some of these larger homeless encampments, and at least..

have portable restrooms; garbage pick-up, a place to wash, and food pantries.

my mind keeps returning..

      "i wonder if i could appeal to capitalists!?!..   like, look at all these potential customers!  if we can get them off the streets, (and some off drugs/alcohol) and get them employed...   they could add to your income/profits!   they would be buying things.. instead of scrounging, rummaging, stealing..    

isnt everyone better off if they are contributing to the economy..?"


i found this very interesting!

and then, i think..

how!? do we get one of joyce meyer ministries dream centers or Genesis men's homes here in san jose?

and i'm going to get busy writing trying to make that happen...

i am results oriented.     -they have a great track record for getting good Godly results...

hallelujah & amen.
