When the authorities are done cleaning up the Portland homeless camps, could you send them my direction and ask them to clean up ours? https://www.google.com/search?q=santa+cruz+homeless+camp&tbm=isch If not, would you mind if we ship our homeless to Portland now that you have some empty space for them? Jeff, you need to put your considerable intellect to solving the homeless problem. Buying them bus passes to Cameron Park has proved to be too expensive. I'm at wits' end. -- Jay Beattie. A solution was tried in Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) back in 1790: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_73/July_1908/Count_Rumford He had the army arrest all the indigents, beggars, street people, homeless, bums, etc and put them to work in his House of Industry. Not only were the streets cleared, but he made a tidy profit on whatever they produced. I suppose we could try that again. Long ago, when I still lived in Smog Angeles, someone suggested that it might be useful to have those on welfare actually do some useful work. So, they were stationed at the on ramps to the major freeways where they reduced the number of cars that could enter the freeway in order to improve traffic flow. I don't recall why the program wasn't continued, but I do know that the traffic control experiment was successful and was eventually implemented with the addition of traffic metering signals at the freeway on ramps. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
