Ron Book Predicts Miami Will End Homelessness Next Year (Updated)
As we previously reported in the Florida News Radio post, Ron Book is promising to make the Miami/Dade area the first urban area in the nation to end homelessness as we know it today.
In an interview with Glenna Milberg of Local10 News WPLG, Book gave a most impressive interview, giving plenty of documentation to show how he planned on achieving this goal.Ā Again, though, he never addresses the homeless problem for registered persons in the Miami/Dade area, primarily because that would require rolling back the 2500-foot residence restriction that he lobbied to pass in the Miami/Dade area and throughout the state/country.
Why wonāt Mr. Book discuss the elephant in the room?

Heās holding the new state statute outlawing sleeping in public spaces in his back pocket. All Miami Dade has to do is NOT provide an approved area for the homeless to encamp and BANG heās bussed them all out of the county and looked wonderful doing it. Donāt house them.. donāt make it easier for them to find housingā¦.. just kick them down the roadā¦..
Regardless of if someone is religious, here is a bible verse that Book is ignoring.
Matthew 25:40
The king will answer them, āI tell all of you with certainty, since you did it for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did it for me’.
Basically, it is saying if you do something good for one person, you should do so for everyone. It is NOT saying to do good for just those who you believe deserve it. Authorities keep kicking the can down the road making us all “Someone else’s problem”. Eventually there will be nowhere for us to go.
And I have even seen some cities trying to kick people out of their homes, due to retro-active distance ordinances.
