Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

I buy local any time I can. I also will never use self check outs.
ReplyI'll pay more to go to the store to see the items I want. People who go to a retailer to shop, then buy online are stealing. I want these stores here. I'll buy online if I can't find it locally.
ReplyI prefer to buy local but can't always find what I want without running all over town.
ReplyWhile selection can be limited, there are unadvertised perks to shopping local: you get to see the item before paying, you know who you're buying from, cash is accepted, and no waiting for shipping!
ReplyI hate sitting at a computer to shop. Then spending more money and time making sure the order arrives safely in my hands, rather than a thief's hands once it is delivered to my door step!
