In Fresno they took a bunch of low budget motels(prostitute area) and have turned them into homeless housing but they have to check in everytime before they go in to the premises. They've managed to clean up some areas. Especially the area where High Speed rail will have its station. Only problem is they put the station right next to the soup kitchen so it'll be hard to get rid of a lot of the homeless around it.
Newsom recently gave us a big check to renovate the area around the high speed rail station.
Even this is easy to solve. Like I mentioned above, the issue is the dense concentration of homeless people. So it's counterintuitive to have a soup kitchen at all.
And by that, I mean that you already gave them housing and govt knows exactly where each one lives. Why not be proactive and just deliver the food to their doors?
Instant problem solved. Blight immediately disappears due to proper city planning.
Mr brother went for an aviation course in Singapore in the early 90s..said it was the cleanest place he'd ever seen in his whole life of travel.
Unfortunately fascist gated community America is determined to keep a barrier or buffer between the wealth and racial classes. Singapore can do that because they all practically one ethnic group so get along better.
I've heard similar things about them being clean also. Nice society they have
But let me add also, that they actually have one of the most diverse countries in Asia. In fact, their first dictator actually insisted on inclusive housing specifically to prevent favoritism or unequal opportunity between ethnicities. Lee Kwan was scared to death of race riots and civil unrest.
Singapore owes the diversity I'm describing to it's colonial past, the same way Jamaica does. Brits brought indians for labor and even as convicts. So you have lots of dark skinned Tamils mingling . Brits also imported Chinese (both Cantonese and han varieties) . Much like in America, these Chinese became the business class because they were specifically imported to do professional work. Beyond Chinese and indians, you have the native Malay people who don't resemble the first two groups at all and even speak different languages. And finally the most recent addition is Indonesians and other poor SEAs.
And as a loosely related note, this diversity is why they speak suck impeccable English . It was the lingua franca. But in addition to English the 3 languages of their other ethnic groups are also official in classwork and govt documents. (Tamil, Malay, and mandarin)
