Winnipeg is home. It will always be home. However, we have problems in our city. Urban decay and crime. It's time to take back our respective communities. Many of us take the ills of Winnipeg with apathy. We can make a difference!
We have to band together with other community members and eradicate drugs, violence, and street prostitution. How you may ask?
IDEA #1:
Legalize everything! The gangs will not be able to make money. Street prostitution is inevitale, so why not legalize it completely? Move it indoors, and restrict it to industrial areas, or a red light district like the Exchange District.
IDEA #2:
If this is impossible, we can still band together and get some paint, and wipe out all the gang graffiti. Nothing lowers property values like gang signs. We can have neighbourhood patrols who go in groups of 6-10, and report any crime (drug deals, violence,etc,) to the Police. We need to be proactive if this city is to become safe again. we can plant gardens in vacant building and lots. Spence and West Broadway are examples of this.
Maybe some areas will be impossible to save (projects on King and Jarvis, Jigtown, etc.). However, the West End, Elmwood, Point Douglas, and even Central are not lost causes). we must band toghether and fight the hoodlums. There are strength in numbers and nothing is impossible. Lets make Winnipeg a better place for our children!
