Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 462 The Homeless Problem

"So, those homeless people can't be solved? At least move them out, and then find something to do for them. What's the matter if they have hands and feet, and they are all lying on the side of the road?"

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

Benjamin lit his cigarette.

Perhaps it was the ingredients in the cigarettes, or maybe it was Carter's presence, which made Benjamin exhale in relief:

"Unemployment, loan cut-off, lower credit rating, and the easier it is for a person to be replaced by a bank to auction off a house. This shows that they actually still lack a key and indispensable vocational skill. Now In such an environment, facing such a person who is not necessary, but also has a bad credit rating and no fixed residence, as a boss, do you dare to use such a person?"

"Such people, I pity them. Maybe they have been kind to others all their lives, treated their neighbors kindly, and are hospitable. Let's not talk about it. It's a matter of risk. In this group of people, there are good people, and naturally there are bad people. There are hardworking 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 houses from your construction company, planning to build a temporary residence for them."

"As you said, move them out first, manage them in a unified way, and then... whatever! When I bought the prefabricated house, I just asked them to help and build a nest for themselves. In the end, guess what? ? More than [-]% of people would rather lie on the grass and look at the stars than move!"

"Wait for those honest poor people to build the prefab houses. Now that the weather has completely turned cold, they ran over to 'twist them in' again. Such a group of people can't be beaten or killed. I really need to arrange some work out , If you don’t give them treatment, they want to make trouble, and if you give treatment, it’s all in vain, and the work is done by those honest people. Tell me, what do you want people to do?!”

"How about cutting off the subsistence allowance for them? Not even the citizens of Douglas, why should we give them the subsistence allowance?"

Think of those guys lying on the streets, if you take it personally.Like this kind of shit that doesn't work every day, even if you find a job for them, you don't do it, and you feed, drink and support the guy, all damn it!Street lights should be hung! !
But if he really wanted to do this, he would have to die himself.What kind of butcher, the crime of genocide has to be piled on his head, and the threats that are useful to ordinary people are not very effective on this group of people.Having nothing at the same time also means that they often don't have too many worries.
At this time, perhaps the only direction Carter could think of was the source of life.Cut off the subsistence allowances, and get up and work for my father if I don’t want to starve to death. However:
"This subsistence allowance cannot be broken! Do you know how many garbage people have gathered in the city center? A total of 1134 people! This is the statistics before Thanksgiving. We used to have no subsistence allowances in Douglas, just for this group of people made it"

"why?"

Carter didn't understand.

"Because... if you don't give the subsistence allowance, if they want to survive, they can only rob! According to the standard of 400 US dollars, these 250 people have to rob the citizens of more than [-] yuan of wealth a month. And We send two hundred every month, and they may only need to grab $[-], which will do less harm to the citizens.”

Carter:? ? ?
Generous gift Shet
What kind of nonsense reason is this? !
"So you think you issued this subsistence allowance to protect ordinary citizens? Isn't there a prison in Coffey County to the west of the city? You can't throw it in there."

"On the one hand, there are legal issues. To rob a few hundred dollars, to be precise, a single robbery may only be ten or twenty dollars? This level of smuggling, with the current law, cannot be a felony at all. The jail can be released within a few days. Moreover, even if we amend the city law, it will be useless, there are too many people, we can’t afford it!”

The wry smile on Benjamin's face grew stronger:
"You don't think that the Coffey County Jail helps us detain prisoners for free, does it? The prison guards' expenses all come from us. For every prisoner imprisoned, his prison uniform, food and other expenses are all from our city's finances. Bear it. It costs more than [-] U.S. dollars a year to detain a prisoner. Even if [-]% of the prisoners are detained, it will cost [-] million a year! But it only costs [-] million. Find some temporary jobs for them, and at least it can solve their food and clothing.”

"And, let's be realistic. Putting this whole group of people in the Coffey County Jail would be a waste of money, and besides a lot of financial loss, these people wouldn't create any residual value. But if you put them outside. To put it bluntly, what do they have to do with the money they robbed? They also have to spend it in my local area 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, more or less counted as reflow. This little loss in the process is better than throwing it in prison and not seeing any money back, right? And don't underestimate this part of the demand, even if it is the lowest With limited living expenses, it is no problem for these thousand 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 conflict with nearby residents and get upset. For such a group, we all use their ancestors who have no good way, you Do the citizens have any ideas? They don’t want to live in the urban area, and they don’t want to be with these people, so what can they do? Move out of the city! Especially for your newly built residential areas, unified procurement, unified construction costs, and selling prices All are relatively low, but the quality is good. Now those people in the city center have a strong desire to move out, and this is another part of the real estate demand!"

"Currently, there are 670 residential houses in the city center. They move away from the city center. On the one hand, it can bring demand for 670 houses, delaying the time when real estate companies stop working and lose their jobs because of exhausted demand. In terms of the long-term development of the city, it is also beneficial. Because no one buys real estate in the downtown area at all, and no one hopes that a dark shadow may flash past their window in the middle of the night, or that when they wake up early in the morning, they open the door and find There's a stranger lying in front of my house"

"When the demand is low, the housing prices in this city center will naturally fall. After the initial stage of outward expansion is completed, these low-priced and vacant houses will undoubtedly reduce our demolition compensation costs. When the time comes We'll have more money to spend building instead of tearing down."

"It is precisely because of these points and comprehensive considerations that I have always been concerned about them gathering in the city center and doing nothing. Besides, it is difficult for you to take any action. They go to the city center just for convenience. The convenience of robbery, the convenience of life, and Buying drugs is convenient, even if you built temporary housing for them outside the city, if the weather didn’t turn cold, they would still sleep in the city center.”
