Housing for all
residents is required
Re: “$17.4 million OK’d to purchase 3 S.J. websites for reasonably priced housing” (Web page A1, April 6).
Whereas studying the article about plans to construct reasonably priced housing in San Jose, it talked about that this venture was concentrating on low-income households and other people affected by homelessness. Positive, this can be a good gesture for them, however what about households who sadly can’t afford to position 1 / 4 of one million down-payment, however don’t classify as “low-income”?
Each native individual within the Bay Space is aware of how exaggerated housing and hire costs are. The county Board of Supervisors wants to think about this class of households as effectively, since it’s talked about that a lot of the fund cash has been spent. The Board of Supervisors wants to search out options for failed deadlines they usually should discover a method to decrease costs for first-time householders.
Native residents must be assured to have a protected residence, particularly first-time house owners. Having a secure residence will shield their household’s future.

Homicide of 5-year-old
should convey change
Re: “5-year-old woman killed in capturing in Fremont” (Web page B1, April 11).
I used to be outraged to learn the information a couple of 5-year-old woman who was shot and killed whereas using in a automobile on the freeway. This has triggered great psychological and emotional harm to the sufferer’s household.
This sort of violence is extraordinarily unacceptable, whatever the circumstances. From a humane and moral standpoint, the killing of an harmless youngster is a grave violation of the fitting to life and human rights. Each human being, particularly youngsters, has the fitting to dwell in a protected, peaceable and violence-free society. As well as, such incidents also needs to set off an in-depth reflection on the underlying causes of violence.
I really feel that energetic measures, together with coverage and social intervention, must be taken to scale back and stop such tragic incidents of violence and to guard the lives and security of everybody.

We must always encourage,
not limit, youth vote
It’s actually un-American for the GOP to be designing varied obstacles to maintain faculty college students throughout the nation from exercising their proper to vote.
“Idaho, Texas, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina is not going to settle for any pupil IDs.” That is purportedly to stop voter fraud. Some states is not going to permit voting websites on campuses.
We would like our younger adults to be concerned in authorities, to take part in civic affairs. After they hear of efforts to hinder their participation, they might effectively assume that their concepts and voices aren’t valued.

Get huge cash
out of our politics
America likes it easy. And the reply to our political strife is straightforward. If we may restrict the affect of cash, we’d be again on monitor to be the democratic republic we are saying we’re.
The current election of a Supreme Court docket justice in Wisconsin price $40 million, a file. Our elected members of Congress spend over 60% of their time fundraising. If we may cut back or remove the management of unions, companies and political motion committees, our elected officers can be knocking in your door, and asking on your vote. We’d break up the strangling energy of political events and cut back partisanship and gridlock. We may elect representatives primarily based on what they know versus who they know.
If you wish to discover out who’s working our nation, it’s easy, simply observe the cash. Cash is killing our America.
