This is a simple thing to say but is it really this easy to put
homeless people to work? There are a lot of questions that we need to
answer regarding this issue. Will the homeless really volunteer and help
clean up the city of San Diego? Will this be a short term plan or is there
a chance that we can get them to work permanently? These are just some of
the many questions that arises when we talk about the homeless people. I
agree with the idea of putting them to work. But I believe that it should
be more than just volunteering. In my opinion, it should be a job for the
homeless. I also believe that they should earn money while they're doing
this. Or at least get something in return for the services they are going
to render to their city.
Everywhere you go in this city, you'll see homeless people around.
Their nuraber keeps growing and growing each day. They are absolutely
everywhere. Most of them stand by the freeway exits and entrances. They
put up signs trying to get anybody's attention so that they could get some
change or even some left over food. Others hang around 7-11 stores or any
grocery stores and supermarkets. Some are out there to clean your car or
just your winRABhield so they could get something in return for their
efforts even though they only get your car more dirty.
As I said before, most of the homeless that we have today put up
signs that say "will work for food." Most of them really want to work in
order to get some money for food and stay alive. So, why don't we give it
to them. We have a hard time keeping San Diego clean so maybe it's time
to get some assistance from the homeless. Will it be easy to put them to
work? I don't think it is that easy. This issue is a lot more complicated
than that. In my opinion, it will be hard to make anybody work for nothing.
I mean, why would they work if they are only volunteering and not getting
money or something like that. If I was a homeless person, I wouldn't just
volunteer myself to help the city. Why should I do that if I don't get
anything out of it? Why should I waste my time on something that will not
benefit myself? It's a good idea to make the homeless work for their city
but I don't believe that we only need them when there is a convention and
government officials are coming over to visit to make them think that this
is a clean city. It should be more like a long term plan and really put
the homeless to work but we need to work something out in order for them to
cooperate.
If we can make an organization that will handle the homeless then
maybe we can start this idea of putting them to work. This specific
organization should try and recruit the homeless people that are willing to
work for food or money. If we offer something like food or money to these
people, then they will surely work. They are not going to work for free of
course. Nobody would. Even if we make them volunteer to do this and that,
we cannot be sure that they will do a good job on them. I think that we
should pay them or give them food according to the task that they do and
how they perform on that specific task. If we do this, they will do a
better job because they know that if they do good on the job they're are
assigned to, they will be granted more in return.
If everything falls into the right place, we will not only benefit
the city but we will see less and less homeless people on the streets doing
nothing. It's for the city, the homeless, and us. The city will be
cleaner if we do something, like putting the homeless to help clean it.
The homeless will benefit because they are more sure that they will have
food on their mouths. To a homeless, that's a big deal. And lastly, a
benefit to us. Most people I know hate the homeless on the streets. Some
homeless look really old and weak and you have sympathy for them. But some
look young and strong and you wonder why they don't work if they are still
in good physical condition. Sometimes I help the
homeless by giving them some change and stuff like that. But I can't do
that all the time. There are so many of them that you cannot help each one.
I see most people's reaction to the homeless. Some are nice and as an
example, I was following this car and we were on a stop light about to
enter the freeway. There was a couple of homeless people on the other side
of the street. The people inside the car called them up to give them some
left over McDonald's food because they just came from that place. They
held cars behind them even though the light already turned green. To me,
that's a good example on how some people give sympathy to the homeless.
Some just pretend on not seeing them and just ignore them. It looks really
sad unless we do something about it.
We are going to truly help them and the city at the same time by
giving them work to clean this city. This work will benefit them because
this is far better than just standing and begging on streets and stores.
We just have to think about this issue carefully. The problem is there and
we need to act on it. Actually, two problems exist. First, keeping this
city clean and second, giving the homeless something to do. I know that
it's easy to say all the things I have said regarding the homeless. But
unless we do something about it, this will not go away. Some people might
have the same ideas on how to deal with this situation while some might
have different opinions. And maybe, others might not even care. I believe
that there is a solution to every problem. We are just going to have to
find it because it's just around the corner.
Wouldn't it be great to see a cleaner city and less homeless people
on the streets? I have talked to some of my frienRAB about this. Most of
them agree that we can get the homeless helping out while some of them
don't. They say that why should we help them if they can't even help
themselves. I have to say that they are right. It's true that most of the
homeless prefer to not do anything but beg. But I think that they only
need a little encouragement and a little chance. This will be like a
syrabiotic relationship. They will get something out of helping to keep San
Diego clean. We'll never know, this might be a great idea after all.
