Hi Adam! Yes, Sarasota has a huge homeless problem. They want workers, too lazy to lift a finger themselves, but they can't find it in their hearts to let their workers live anywhere. The workers either have to commute for miles to less expensive communities, or they have to sleep in closets, under bridges or wherever. The city and county prohibit "camping" so anything the worker might do to solve the problem is against the law. Since I closed my clinic and retired I have continued to work night security a few nights a week. The plant I watch has one worker who sleeps in the break room. I turn the light out every time I pass there on my round so he can rest better, but he must feel terrible when he wakes up anyway. I have suggested a number of times that the city put up a tent facility for people who have nowhere else to go but no one has even acknowledged the suggestion. Hell, they already have the tents, 30 acres at the fairgrounds that is never used for anything and all kinds of boy scouts and reservists to help man the place. They could give the scouts merit badges and the reservists service credits. A few porta potties and a little wiring and they could have it up in a week. I think it is inhuman to NOT do it. > > Detroit was just an example, there are thousands of properties > > throughout all states at $100 or less and it's not down to anyone at a > > local level the whole sub prime problem was identified a couple of years > > ago but ignored as it would be bad politics to say to people "no you > > can't buy your own homes" even if you are a ninja (No Income, No Job > >or Assets)... > Did you see any in Sarasota Florida?

I recently converted to a $100,000 reverse mortgage. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
