Summary: State representatives want to help the growing homeless population out, who live across the street from Aala Park. They are trying to come up with solutions and are hoping that the homeless themselves can come up with solutions also. The homeless who live there feel mistreated by other people. A solution that came up was to create "safe zones" where homeless can stay without being harassed. In addition, they are trying to make one of the 100 unit buildings in Chinatown, a housing area for those with drug problems and mental illnesses.
Proposition: I agree with the representatives that we should have safe zones for the homeless because they are away from where tourists may be and it would make the place look a little bit cleaner. In addition, they would also have a place to live without being harassed by people passing by. Besides safe zones, the housing idea in Chinatown sounds like a great way to help those with mental illnesses and drug problems.
