I read the article, we need for HUD to explore ways of getting the homeless into the vacant housing.

In the past the leaders just left the homeless people on the sidewalks and no one was doing anything here to help the homeless, it is only recently that Mayor Bass in Los Angeles started helping the homeless, and in Orange County we had rich Christians from the Philippines here helping the homeless, it is only recently that the leaders have decided that helping the homeless is a priority.

So, as we begin this new effort to get the homeless into housing then we need to explore ways of getting the homeless into the vacant housing that is already built, we have 16 million vacant homes.

If the people want to make money from the vacant homes, then we need to explore ways that those homeowners can make money from their currently vacant properties. If they are waiting to sell, then maybe we can work out some kind of deal so that they can make money as the housing goes to the homeless.

HUD needs to explore ways of having mutual rewards for the owners of the vacant housing and the homeless, the owners need money, and the homeless need housing.

( I also support group homes for the homeless, and Sober Living Homes, and Hostels. )

Salute,

Tony V.

I had a Film professor at Antelope Valley community college who was so smart and well educated that he wrote his own text books for his classes. I am impressed when the professors reach such a high level that they can write their own textbooks. His name is Jaime Bihlmeyer and he is teaching Film at the University of Missouri now, I am sure he is teaching a lot to the students there.

I really enjoyed my time in community college at AVC and the school had some wonderful professors. Biden wants to make community college available to all Americans and I support that. The community college that I attended was fantastic and it was time well spent. Then the students who have high aptitude can continue to study and train. After AVC I went on the attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, which was fantastic.

Salute,

My solution to the homeless crisis is the best:

Tent cities.
Good enough for the army, then good enough for the homeless.
Aircon/heated tents, doctors, good food, no drugs, no booze, clean toilets/bathrooms (cleaned by a contracted company)....etc.
Plenty of spare land in America...not in tornado alley.

It's the responsibility of the federal govt to ensure that every citizen is living a comfortable life.

I am sure Albo will consider your proposal if you put it in a nice letter.

Threads, which sounds like the worst features of Twitter and Instagram, gets panned by a Vice writer.

What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?

Oh Dam!

Justice is often denied people.
Seems to be prevalent in America though, if movies and docos are anything to go by.
A leaning towards plea bargains instead of discovering if the accused is innocent or guilty...seems popular.

Henry David Thoreau was awesome, he lived in the woods by a pond and he thought about philosophy, and he will be forever remembered for being a teacher to Ghandi and other great men.

Bambu, the Governments get money from TARIFFS ON IMPORTS, and Mexico can put tariffs on Coca Cola and on other imports to build schools and hospitals and orphanages and libraries, etc. In Mexico they can put a tariff on Coca Cola to build a school, etc.

And Kiwanis needs to sell Kiwanis bottled water to make money to help the children globally with Kiwanis International and the Key Club.

Australia has Kiwanis, and everyone else does too.

Salute,

Saw on tv Greta being arrested and moved off a street the other day.
Blocking a street, with others.
She should really not be doing things like that. Not in her best interest, and won't save the planet anyway.

Greta and Malia can replace Thomas and Alito on our Supreme Court today. Once they are nominated and confirmed I will feel much better about our future. David Hogg can replace Roberts.

Greta is facing prison time for that road blocking stunt..."disobeying police".
She's going to have to go to court and stand before the judge for sentencing
Now look at the mess she's gotten herself into.
All totally preventable.

Hopefully she'll be seen as a good person who has made a silly mistake.

LOL

"Disobeying police" over there is very serious, apparently.
