New
York City has two possible futures before it. We can keep on the current path
and fall deeper into a dystopian reality. By the end of the decade I predict that
New York City will have around 200, 000 homeless people. This will be official
numbers. With so many people wandering the street traveling through the city
will become more difficult. As technology improves and jobs for people decrease
desperation to make money will over take large portions of the population.
Private security will become one of the largest employment opportunities. A
large number of impoverished right up against a large number of security forces
will lead to civil unrest at best and civil war at worse.
New
York City can take another path. The city can give property that has been
abandoned by land lords and vacant warehouses to people willing to unify as
members of cooperatives. These properties should be given to cooperatives for
prices ranging from $1 to $100, but never more than $100. New York City can
make all education electronic by using programs like blackboard. Many social
media systems offer communities or groups where educators can teach children
and students can receive lessons. The money that goes to schools could go to
parents to pay for monitors for small children and other expenses. New York
City could retire single buses for the larger two in one buses and buy double-decker
buses. The city could only run buses on streets that have four lanes. This way
New York City could run buses more often. The more public transportation we
have the less cars will clog up the streets.
