I know the city has been generous already, but what would it take to have a city bus that isn't being used on a Saturday or even a school bus, to drive these people into town once a week so they can do their shopping? Maybe they could each chip in $2 or something.
She and her peers have been given NEW HOMES. For Heaven's sake, NEW HOMES. In a nice, new suburban neighborhood.
A shopping shuttle does not even begin to break even for a $2.00 per passenger fare. Not even begins to. And, thus, taxpayers fund them.
Her city certainly has a Senior Shuttle service...maybe she can get incentivized ("must buy Christmas tree") and ask the City to organize a one-time Holiday Shuttle service for the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the woman does not seem to be problem solving but self-pitying. She needs motivation.
Excuse me?
Are you serious?
How about these folks who have been given new homes through the kindness of others actually WORK to improve their plights?
Saturday is their bingo day!
What would it take for them to get off their collective asses and do for themselves. Do you realize how much money has already been spent on these people? Enough. Time to slap the government tit right out of their mouths.
