Nothing Christian about destroying neighborhoods and putting children in danger by (me!) ~topps
Same Issue, new neighborhood under attack
repeating here: my husband and i went personally to the current tiny home sites.. we interviewed people who live and work nearby
-follow-up interviews and pictures at monterey highway and bernal
we know the results include people [HTLC Community and their families] being approached for food and money -adults can handle this to a certain degree, -fend them off, so to speak
but now put those same panhandlers near an elementary school.. you will have strangers wandering on the campus, hitting up kids for food and money.. wandering into the cafeterias.. wandering into the bathroom facilities; loitering in general
It is negligent and dangerous to ignore or deny this risk. -and this only addresses panhandling, but there are also drug addicts, the severally mentally ill..
Read the report from the director of housing -it is in writing, that they place high acuity people in these tiny home sites. we need hospitals, rehabs, -not tiny homes.
-how many times do we have to repeat ourselves?! -how many times, in how many neighborhoods, are the residents forced to fight. say and vote NO -and still be ignored and overridden
***
and i have to comment here, based on reading comments.. there is nothing Christian about destroying otherwise healthy neighborhoods; nothing Christian about putting children at risk; nothing Christian about misappropriate use of tax funds; nothing Christian about placing a person who should be in a hospital inside a densely populated caged tiny home site. Nothing Christian about short-sightedness or greed or inappropriate land grabs. Nothing Christian about ignoring/overridding voters in a democracy.
but as a Christian, i want to share this
i am results oriented. if you provided me -accurate/genuine/true result- audits of services provided by
1. government vs.
2. private entities vs.
3. churches
whichever of the three are currently getting the best results; i support.
helping addicts; helping mentally ill; helping inmates transition into civilian life; helping with PTSD; helping with job skills..
whichever group has the greatest track record for helping people out of their pit, and into a healthy, contributing life
let's do more of that. whoever is not getting results -terminate the service and dedicate those financial and people resources to where they can do the most good.
we do not need to reinvent the wheel -we need to take care of the flats, rotate tires, adjust the air pressure and move forward..
****
that's in regard to hurting people, but let us also talk economics
what city/states/countries -what locations/systems have the most people living in poverty?
and what locations/systems help the most people graduate out of their impoverished circumstances?
who/where are the most people independently thriving?
/i keep saying to myself i don't need to write on this topic AGAIN! help me Jesus! amen.
