The stalker moved through the backyard and into the yard of another to retrieve a ladder. Down the alley, he now travels with the ladder searching for homes to collect merchandise to sell on the streets to his new brown neighbors. A thief knows how to study the supply and demands of low-income consumers by taking advantage of certain opportunities in poor neighborhoods.
The Brookings Institution has a report on poverty, opportunity: Putting the Market to Work for Lower Income Families by Matt Fellowes.
The report focus on ways to reduce the inflated prices low income families pay for products, from cashing checks, food, housing and more. My interest was what is Fort Wayne doing to remedy such inequalities in our city, and the answer was documenting and publicizing lower income market potential according to the Brookings Institution.
"Document and Publicize Lower Income Market Demand,
Fort Wayne’s Southtown Mall Initiative"
Our fearless leader Mayor Dick condemned Southtown Mall and commissioned a study of the needs of the "poorer neighborhoods" surrounding Southtown Mall..hmmm, poorer neighborhoods???
"Leaders with less access to capital might consider an alternative path
taken by Mayor Graham Richard of Fort Wayne, Indiana. During Richard’s
mayoralty, the Southtown Mall was abandoned by its owner. Located in
one of the city’s poorer neighborhoods, this decaying infrastructure was
condemned by the city after no retailers expressed interest in taking over
this retail space.
Convinced that there was unmet demand in the neighborhood, the
mayor commissioned a study of local buying power, similar to studies
undertaken by Social Compact, ICIC, and Metro Edge."
"[The Mayor] found that demand was indeed present, but various costs made redevelopment of the property unattractive to retailers. To overcome these difficulties, the mayor worked with private retailers, and invested in new water and sewer lines, among other infrastructure improvements and resource investments."
How are the taxpayers being paid back, by the businesses operating in the new South Centre, one of the new business is a new supercenter with a large grocery store!!!
"The city’s investment is being paid back through profits generated
from selling property to the businesses that located at the site, along with
money generated from leasing its old electric utility, and from taxes generated
by the special taxing district at the site. The site is now home to a
number of new, major retail establishments, including a new supercenter
with a large grocery store."
This is why the poor stay poor, they never do what they say, they only write lies to share with others that they can imagine what the poor would need, but we're not going to give it to them.
The debate continues as to which of the poor does government support without helping those the individual taxpayers doesn't like amongst the poor.
My Lord woman, you think the government is the reason for all of your woes? Get a %$#@ job, work, pick your ass up by the boot straps and take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of my tax dollars paying for all the lazy asses in SW Fort Wayne that sit on their asses all day and moan about how unfortunate they are instead of getting a damn job.
Of course there is attrition. Since most of the murders in this town are in SE Fort Wayne and are Black-On-Black maybe the problem will eventually take care of itself.
Local (aka) V.R. and AWB:
ReplyDeleteI've stated before, that the Mayor does a great p.r. job and of manipulating the gullible public. It is folks like you, individuals who elected by group think, believing these folks are looking out for your best interest.
They appoint their incompetent friends to jobs with good salaries to further do nothing. The public becomes frustrated at ineffective government by these lunatics. The voting public gives up rather than hold accountable by challenging these idiots lack of job performance. Instead, soundbites of blaming the poor and others, when more of their (and yours) hard earned dollars are taken to support the lifestyle of these ignorance and ill-informed public lices sit in office on their behinds doing nothing.
Your yearly contribute of tax dollars (along with millions of other folks) help support the Mayor and other public servants, who sit on their behinds and implement policies that harm the poor and the working poor. Just think about it, how many poor folks does your contribute really help?
The poor receives help from many individuals who gives their money freely to help such individuals. The government takes your money to say they are trying to help folks like your Mayor and your Governor who say they are helping the poor in their cities, but they just use the money to create studies or programs. Yep, Local sounds like you need to talk to your government in better utilizing your limited tax dollars in helping the poor.
I needed to add my P.S. and a few corrections.

The poor receives help from many individuals who gives their money freely and time to help such individuals. The government takes your money to say they are trying to help folks like your Mayor and your Governor who say they are helping the poor in their cities, but we know it’s a lie they just use the money to create studies or programs, to create jobs for their friends. Right??? Yep, Local sounds like you need to talk to your government in better utilizing your limited tax dollars in helping the poor.
P.S. pejorative language is so unnecessary, as you can see in getting your point across about your gut feelings about folks you feel are insignificant in daily walk with life.
