Chapter 461 The Tramp Problem

"So, those homeless people can't be solved? At least move them out, and then find something for them to do. What's the point of lying on the roadside with arms and legs?"

"It's difficult, they... Let me tell you this, I don't deny that there are good people there. It's really just because of the environment that I was forced to do this..."

Benjamin lit a cigarette.

Perhaps it was the ingredients in the cigarette, or perhaps it was Carter's presence that made Benjamin exhale in relief:

"Unemployment, loan cut off, credit rating reduced, houses repossessed by banks and auctioned off... The more easily replaceable people are, the easier it is to become unemployed. This shows that they actually lack a critical and indispensable professional skill.

.In the current environment, faced with this kind of unnecessary person, who has a bad credit rating and has no fixed place to live, as a boss, do you dare to use such a person?"

"I pity people like this. Maybe they have been kind to others, kind to their neighbors, and hospitable all their lives... But let's not talk about this. It is a matter of risk. Among this group of people, there are good people, and naturally there are bad people. There are hard-working people.

Of course, there are also lazy people. A month ago, when the weather turned cold, I asked Mr. Kane to buy the extra prefabricated house from your construction company and planned to build a temporary residence for them. "

"As you said, move them out first and manage them uniformly, and then... No matter what! When I bought the prefab house, I just asked them to contribute to build a nest for themselves. As a result, you

Guess what? More than 70% of people would rather lie on the grass and look at the stars than move!"

"After those honest poor people have built the prefabricated houses. Now that the weather has turned completely cold, they have gone over to 'move in'... Such a group of people cannot be beaten or killed. We really need to arrange it."

If you don't give them any treatment, they will cause trouble. If you give them treatment, it will be all in vain. The work is done by honest people. What do you think of people doing this?!"

"How about cutting off the subsistence allowance for them? They are not even Douglas citizens, so why should we provide them with the subsistence allowance?"

Think about those guys lying on both sides of the street. If you look at it from a personal emotional point of view. Guys like this who do nothing every day, even if you find a job for them, and want you to feed, drink and support them, they all deserve to die!

Street lights should be hung!

But if you really want to do this, then you will have to die. All butchers and genocide charges will be piled on your head, and threats that are useful to ordinary people are not very effective for this group of people. At the same time, when you have nothing,

It also means that they often don’t have too many concerns...

At this time, the only thing Carter could think of was the source of livelihood. Cut off the subsistence allowance and work for him if he didn't want to starve to death... However:

"This subsistence allowance cannot be cut off! Do you know how many garbage people have gathered in the city center now? A full 1,134 people! This is the statistics before Thanksgiving... We in Douglas don't have any subsistence allowance, we just provide

This group of people did it..."

"Why?"

Carter didn't understand.

"Because...if you don't provide subsistence allowances, if they want to survive, they have to rob! According to the standard of 400 US dollars, these more than 1,000 people would have to rob citizens of more than 450,000 US dollars in wealth a month.

.And if we give out two hundred dollars every month, they may only need to grab 250 US dollars, which will cause less harm to the citizens..."

Carter:???

Thank you for your generous gift...

What nonsense is this?

"So you think you are issuing this subsistence allowance to protect ordinary citizens? Isn't there a Coffey County jail in the west of the city? You can't throw it in..."

"It can't be done...on the one hand, it's a legal issue. To rob a few hundred dollars, to be precise, a single robbery might only be ten dollars or twenty dollars? This level of robbery cannot be judged at all according to the current law.

Serious crimes can be released from jail in just a few days. Moreover, even if we amend the municipal law, it will be useless. There are too many people and we cannot afford to jail them!"

The bitter smile on Benjamin's face became even thicker:

"You don't think that the Coffee County Jail helps us detain prisoners for free, do you? The expenses of the prison guards all come from us. Every time a prisoner is imprisoned, his uniforms, meals, etc., are all paid by our city finance.

Responsible. It takes one year to lock up a prisoner.

Spending more than 9,000 US dollars, even if 60% of the people are imprisoned, it will cost 6.12 million a year! And the subsistence allowance, including the one for the honest man, only costs 2.72 million. And then

Find some temporary work for them, so that they can have enough food and clothing..."

"And, to be realistic, putting all these people in the Coffee County Jail is a waste of money. Apart from a lot of economic losses, these people will not create any residual value. But if you put them outside.

..To put it harshly, what happens to the money they robbed? They also have to spend it in Douglas, buying food, water, and various daily necessities..."

"Are you sure you didn't give it to those drug dealers?"

"There is always a surplus, and it can be considered as a return to some extent. This loss in the process is better than being thrown into prison and not seeing any money back at all, right? And don't underestimate this part of the demand, even if it is the lowest

With the limited living expenses, it is no problem for these 1,000 people to support three, four, or even five small shops!"

"And their existence may also be a good thing for you. If they stay in the city center, they will inevitably have conflicts with nearby residents, which will cause unhappiness. For such a group, we have no good way to deal with them, you ancestors.

Are there any suggestions for citizens? They don’t want to live in the city.

If you don’t want to be with these people, what can you do? Move out of the city! Especially when you build new residential areas with unified procurement, unified construction costs, low prices, but good quality. Now the market

Those in the center have a strong desire to move out, which is another part of the real estate demand!”

"Currently, there are 670 residential units in the city center. Their move out of the city center will, on the one hand, bring demand for 670 houses and delay the time when real estate companies stop work and lose their jobs due to drying up of demand. On the other hand, it will also

It is also good for the long-term development of the city...because no one is buying real estate in the city center area now. No one wants to have a dark shadow flash past their window in the middle of the night, or wake up early in the morning and open the door.

I found a stranger lying in front of my house..."

"When demand drops, housing prices in the city center will naturally fall. When the initial stage of outward expansion is completed and the old city is renovated, these low-priced and vacant houses will undoubtedly reduce our demolition compensation costs. By then,

We'll have more money for construction instead of demolition."

"It is precisely based on these points and comprehensive considerations that I have been focusing on them gathering together in the city center and not taking any action. Besides, it is difficult for you to take action. They go to the city center just for convenience... convenience for robbery and convenience for life.

It’s also convenient to buy drugs. Even if you built them temporary homes outside the city, if the weather hadn’t cooled down, they would still be sleeping rough in the city center..."
