Homelessness and addiction

Most homeless people are addicted to alcohol and/or drugs. To help them get clean and sober, fist we have to get  them off the street and put them in their own homes.

Being in their own home will build  self -respect and  a sense of belonging to a bigger, better community. Perhaps they will start their own families ? I only see good things coming from this, don't  you ?

I think  this will be a big help, especially for our seniors and veterans and our next generation who will  learn from their example.

    Thanks for writing this. I am a big believer in the value of homes for ALL - every human needs a place to be protected and safe, and to have some privacy and relief from the outside world. I look forward to see how our new Mayor faces these challenges.

Take the Red Light Cameras Off the Chicago Streets and Put Up Police Cameras Instead

The red light speeding cameras that are on the city streets and suburban roads are not needed as much as security ones. The tax money should be available for police cameras to prevent and make sure we are safe. Because there is so much crime around here, those cameras will help. Good behavior on the road is important.

Police cameras should also be put in grocery store and mall parking lots and underground parking lots. They should also be put in universities to help prevent any predators or any other deviants. There should be state police cameras at gas stations and other places on the sides of the highways. Redlight cameras are not as effective as police came

Preventing Gun Violence

There are better ways to solve disputes than using a weapon. It is a sad shame that the police and our court system are not able to solve things. The easiest way to stop violence is to ask everyone to make an appointment with a mental health professional. The mayor or governor should meet with President Biden to get a solution on how to handle the gun problem and get money for mental health providers. This is starting to not make any sense. There is not enough leadership. After so many cases of gun violence, including in the suburbs, the police, mayor, and others are still not taking things seriously. Sometimes gun violence cases are just because the owners are very careless and do not lock up a loaded gun to keep it out of a child’s reach. The gun might even belong to parents who are in law enforcement. We need to keep firearms out of the reach of the mentally ill who should not be able to use them. Gunowners should wake up and get heavy duty lockboxes and never keep their guns in the
