Jefferson Square, Louisville, Kentucky

Thirteen homeless individuals had taken up living in Camp Hope. This camp was cleared out Monday as part of Greg Mayor Fisher’s new revitalization program. The team is comprised of 67 business and community leaders. Their main topics pf concern are litter, safety, graffiti, and homelessness.

The hotel and tourist industry has been in freefall since the pandemic struck. About two thirds of the city’s 65,000 hospitality workers are out of a job, much of which was concentrated in downtown Louisville.

The city has committed to increasing police presence and adding $1,000,000 to the effort to dealing with homelessness.

Federal Covid relief funds should be made available to any town with a “tent city.” How many tiny homes could a million dollars build, especially if those who were to live in them helped with the build. Each person deserves to have a home they can call their own.

Biden has a 45 acre tent city going up for illegals – so they will have a place to live – our citizens don’t seem to matter.
