People like Lisa really make me sick to my stomach! This may seem blunt and uncuth to some, but how dare you say something like that! Have you ever wondered when you're going to get your next meal?! Where you were sleeping that night, Or not been allowed in some places because you're mentally unstable, and truly felt bad about yourself because you couldn't control those outbursts?! I think not! Ever wonder why there's so many suicides? I personally think that since people like Lisa obviously have funds to live comfortably, happily ever after, blah blah blah, then they should try and cut back on their special vacations and cruise ship trips or whatever it is that they spend their extra cash on and maybe contribute to the city to start a program that will help get these people the help they need to get off of the streets, off the drugs etc... I realize there are resources to help them already, but the funds aren't great enough because the folks who want to run their mouth about the fact that they exist are too snubby to help! And trust me I get that your extra cash may be hard earned money, maybe not either way that's not my business! but think about this, Has anyone ever walked into an establishment for a job application and been shot down because of your appearance or your background? Chances are, not many! I've had a drug adiction problem in the past, I've been homeless, and hungry, and I've been shot down from potential jobs due to my past and appearance! I am one person who has been through all of that, but luckily for me, I had a few great friends and family members who WERE WILLING to help me get through the dark hallway and push me up the hill that I couldn't make to the top on my own! I now am a proud mother of a healthy, happy, 3 almost 4 year old boy, an in home caregiver, bill and taxpayer, voter, etc. I still drown in bills and am stressed out 85% of the time about it, mind you I only make $13/hour but hey, I may be barely making it by, but I still do what I can to help better the community rather than complain about it on the internet! Ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" or "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" ??? I highly encourage you to stop and really think about what you're saying and think to yourself how you would feel if you were one of them! Stay humble people! Have a nice day!
Re: “Paso says Salinas Riverbed is a public safety emergency”
Ashley thank you I couldn't have said it better! Lee I'm not saying they're the most respectful and considerate people but what's to be expected when they're literally being treated like trash by the more fortunate??? You're absolutely right! I wouldn't want my son raised around that, but I'm not living in the problem! I'm living in the solution so let us all come together as a community, and do what we can to help them and show them the light so they can get out of the dark tunnel they're in! Just a thought!
