Infrastructure...WHAT?????
Mood:

on fire
Topic: NEWS TO ME!

Help me figure this out. Ok. Obama allotted billions of dollars for our infrastructure (highways, bridges, etc.) but we need that money for the homeless. Everything anyone does it the state house and on the federal level if for people who are employed, own/rent houses, or are jobless. Is anyone thinking about those poor homeless people who sleep on sewer vents that pump hot air out in the winter in the middle of our huge cities? I know EVERYONE who drives around town has an area called "projects". Typically there are abandoned houses/businesses that feed crime and drugs.

Homeless people don't need much. All they require is a dry, warm place to lay their heads. Why can't we take these buildings with the money Obama found for bumpy/pot holed roads (at least people who drive on them own cars) and renovate (not glamourize) old run down abandoned buildings for these poor people?

I think that would justify why our great-great-grandkids will still be in debt from our stupidity and wastefulness. Don't you?

You would think the world would have caught on to this idea.......but no. I also see tons of houses, every where I go....sitting, empty, making the other properties around them look worse. The "project" areas would not look so bad if they were fixed up to make housing for those who don't have a chance to have a roof over their head!

This could also be done buy state and local builders which in turn would help that states local economies! You would have local electricians, plumbers, roofers, painters...... Win win situation. A new roof here, paint there, and you know the new owners would help. Imagine if you will....not going to every city in the country seeing a mass amount of un used run down houses dragging a area down. In place instead ....a community full of pride and a warm place to sleep!

No can do. They want to keep the wealthy happy! Hey who do you think contributes to those campaigns! It would some jobless folks a job. Make a government human resource department for the citizens, one that actually works for the people, the little guy! They guy's who can't afford the laptops, computers, new car's, new homes or high fashion stuff. People in wheelchairs could have a home that is assessable built by out of work laborers. There is a ton of great housing bargains out there to. The government could buy a lot up and re-model them into a great thing for those in need. There are going to sit there anyway, you know it!
