NOTE:
Insight on who Alexandra Datig's background from City Watch LA by Rick Lee Abrams
by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster
There is no
question that Eric Garcetti, who has been in office as Mayor of Los Angeles for
six years, has demonstrated his incompetence to cope with the problem of
homelessness in the city.
In this, he is no
different from other mayors or county supervisors in California and elsewhere
across America. This is no excuse, but it must be noted as a matter of
fairness. Equal incompetence, tyranny
and stupidity for all.
Today, Los Angeles
is facing an explosive growth in the number of rats and mice, which provide a
vector for fleas and lice which can carry communicable diseases such a Bubonic
Plague, Cholera and Typhus.
Mountains of trash
were dumped by local businesspeople who recognized the opportunity to lower
their bill for trash collection. Because of this, Los Angeles is looking at the
strong likelihood of an epidemic of monumental proportions with 33 million rats
and mice looking for more homes suitable for birthing the 15,000 additional
blessings they will produce, per couple, each year.
One measure of the
lack of empathy and concern is the way rats and mice are treated in comparison
to the homeless.
PETA has a section
on Rats and Mice which reads, “Captured mice and rats can be kept calm by
placing a towel over the trap. Release them within 100 yards of where they were
trapped. (Rodents can also be humanely euthanized by a veterinarian or at a
local animal shelter.) Releasing a mouse or rat into a strange area will almost
surely result in the animal’s death because relocated animals don’t know where
to find adequate food, water, or shelter and often become weak and succumb to
predation or foreign parasites or disease against which they lack a natural
immunity.”
PETA shows more
compassion and understanding for rats and mice than Eric Garcetti or Alexandra
Datig show for the homeless. Please pause
to consider this.
The stupidity of
this conflict and the ignorance and thick-skulled knee-jerk thinking would be
mind-boggling to Governor Ronnie Reagan, who notably freed mentally-challenged
people over the objections of Democrats who refused human investment accommodations.
Ronnie was known both for his warmth and compassion and his advocacy for free-market
solutions, even if these never were actually used.
The videographer for Seattle is Dying, Roger
Montgomery, changed his mind after making the movie and has asked to work with
us.
Garcetti spent
millions building out a bureaucracy without spending a cent on the homeless. Datig clearly has not researched the
successful programs for assisting the homeless in Utah and North Carolina. Housing must come first; that is the model
which works. Leaving people on the street
increases the trauma of homelessness, raising the likelihood of greater impact
from trauma, disease, and other causes.
On the street, many who start out sleeping in their homes lose these to
the police because they are homeless and have no place else to sleep. As fines pile up, cars and motorhomes are
seized, stored property on which the individual depends, is also lost. RIP - offs cause all of this.
A significant
number of those homeless today are working poor, and simply cannot afford a
place to live. The originating problem
includes the high cost of housing, which is outrageously overpriced and not
sustainable. Others now on the streets include,
former foster kids who aged out and were pushed out without training or
resources; veterans with PTSD; families evicted from their homes; elderly, also
evicted because they are unable to pay their RIP rent or mortgages; people who
suffered job losses, injuries, and illnesses which left them unable to work, or
earn enough to keep a roof over their heads.
These are not, per se, emotional problems. Counseling does not work for this any more
than campaign promises actually to result in any effective action. It is all
pretension.
But they are
problems which create desperate circumstances for a simple cause, which we can
immediately alleviate with free-market leadership. Know anyone who is free-market and a
Republican? Neither do we. But we are, ourselves, Free-Market advocates
who also know we need a Sustainable Humane Economy (SHE).
Our solution:
·
Cleans
the streets, buildings, and infrastructure of Los Angeles of rats and mice,
humanely, and uses NO poisons or heavy metals to impact people or our air,
water, and land.
·
Provides
transitional housing with RVs, to be replaced by sustainable homes built using
3DPrinting with geopolymer materials. We
are now organizing an architectural competition for at least a dozen 3DPrinting
Builders of sustainable and affordable homes for a similar challenge with the
California Wildfire Prevention & Battle Ideation Contests Prizes.
·
Provides
Health Portal Health Care, which accepts pre-existing conditions and
treatment for trauma caused by the hideous conditions the homeless have endured. Neuro-feedback and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
will be provided in the Revival Villages, which are clearly needed.
·
Access
to Maker Shops and training for re-entering the job market or choosing to become
entrepreneurs. Training in 3DPrinting
and IOS, phone apps, web development, and computer programming will also be
available, among other options.
How is this
funded?
Garcetti could
cough up funds, but he probably hopes to keep these for other purposes. Politicians become very attached to funds
consigned to their control, as we all know.
Datig will likely
be satisfied if the homeless are no longer on the streets, forced to use ad hoc
bathroom facilities and concentration camp shelters.
Band-aid Solutions
offend human decency.
Funding will be provided by capital
donations and investments, though Garcetti has plenty of funds which, if used
properly, would have made any expenditure of tax dollars unnecessary.
Repayment will be made with the original
American charging method, Percentage As You Earn (%PAYE). See PAYEhome.org
This puts the cost of buying a home
within reach of the homeless. They no
longer need to worry about eviction. The
lender receives a decent interest rate, keeping the long-term contract in
effect through economic down-turns and multiple incidents of erratic income. The buyer pledges a percentage-of-income, and
the method takes, as a given, erratic incomes.
Payments can be ZERO, if that is what the buyer has earned.
Readying
the available properties, can take place rapidly. Revival Villages will be placed as small,
detached entrepreneurial communities with additional resources available to the
formerly homeless. %PAYE loans are finansured
both for lender and buyer.
The charging method in use by all banks
today is the Rigid Installment Payment (RIP), which is expected to result in
failure in 16% – 27% of loans every year.
Also, RIPs fail in use for other kinds of payments, such as vehicles,
student loans, and storage, medical care premiums, and rent. These,
in large part, account for the present economic meltdown and the numbers of
homeless. Using %PAYE, sales and
manufacturing can continue even during a recession, providing a stable
economy.
%PAYE loans, which have been used in
multiple applications do not result in default.
While they provide a decent interest rate to lenders and landlords,
without the problems caused by eviction and repossession; %PAYE loans also
provide to buyers the security they need to move forward, increase their
earnings, and realize their dreams.
Everyone benefits.

touch, and help us make this happen.
Good Health &
Happiness to You in Freedom,

Note to Michael
Medved:
Michael, I met you
at an Associated Latter-day Media Association (ALMA) meeting about 2000. I expressed interest in your moral, caring
scenarios for family movies with great dramatic form. Soon after, you called Libertarians,
Losertarians. In response, as one of the
co-founders of the International Society for Individual Liberty, now,
Liberty-Intl.org, now in 90 nations; I decided to be the LOSS Leader creating
the Libertarian Office of Strategic Services to provide free market solutions
to otherwise politically created problems.
