I try to make it a priority to look at the issues that are in our local news daily and there are some reoccurring themes, two of which are increasing rates of crime and homelessness. Is there a correlation? From what I read and understand I believe there is a connection between crime and homelessness.
The reason I'm adding this post is because of 3 articles in today's news...........
- First, is an article about safety on public transit.
- Second is the article about the growing number of homeless people.
- Lastly, is the recent report about crime in various parts of our city.
So called experts and professionals have looked at both of these issues for years but statistics and common sense verify that their answers and recommendations aren't working. Now the question is there something ordinary citizens could and should do to help turn things around? I believe there is.
