That is a good question/option.? Here is the real story.? Many large Cities, like Los Angeles, have these options available.? But, they don't use them.? I have worked the low income areas for almost 20 years.? I have not seen educational programs, those S/N vans or any of the things they say they have TRIED, in place where I work.? Your concenpt is great but the media only reports what they are told and many times it is what doesn't work.? I have sent?my info to all the local media and anyone who I thought would listen.? I have had not one response.? I am not a politician or anyone who matters to them.? We should all keep trying to get the word across but don't be dissappointed when there is no response.
