Ladies and Gentlemen of the Santa Monica City Council,
I wonder if any of you ever visit the Santa Monica Main Library. It is no longer possible to go there and sit and read a magazine or a book. Every seat is occupied by a homeless person.
As a trained economist, I developed a concrete mathematical model which indicates that it is the political system which creates homelessness. It is therefore best that the city designate a place for homeless people to going during the day other than the library.
The city of Santa Monica is one of the more prosperous cities globally and I am positive we have the means to provide such a place for homeless people to go during the day.
It is best to visit the library and see it for yourself. I am sure you have the time, but I wonder if you have the inclination, the vision and the wisdom to see the problem and solve it.
Thank you.
