Evikini eledlule, Amahlathi aseMelika umemezele amadolobha ayi-10 angcono kakhulu ase-US amahlathi asemadolobheni. ICalifornia yayinedolobha elilodwa kulolo hlu - iSacramento. Esifundeni lapho abantu bethu abangaphezu kuka-94% behlala endaweni yasemadolobheni, noma cishe abantu base-California abayizigidi ezingu-35, kuthinta kakhulu ukuthi amadolobha ethu amaningi awazange enze uhlu nokuthi amahlathi asemadolobheni awazona izinto eziza kuqala ezikhulwini zethu ezikhethiwe. kanye nabenzi bezinqubomgomo. Siphila ezweni elenza izinhlu eziningi eziyishumi eziphezulu, okuhlanganisa amadolobha angu-10 kwangu-6 ase-US anokungcoliswa komoya okubi kakhulu. Amahlathi ethu asemadolobheni, ingqalasizinda eluhlaza yamadolobha ethu, kufanele kube yinto ehamba phambili emadolobheni kulo lonke izwe.
Abantu abaningi abaphikisani nezihlahla, abanandaba. Kodwa akufanele kube njalo. Ucwaningo ngemva kocwaningo luhlobanisa uhlaza lwasemadolobheni nempilo yomphakathi ethuthukisiwe: amaphesenti angu-40 abantu abambalwa abakhuluphele ngokweqile noma abakhuluphele, izakhamuzi zinethuba eliphindwe izikhathi ezingu-3 lokuzivocavoca, izingane zinciphise izimpawu zokuphazamiseka kokunaka, umfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye nesifuba somoya, futhi amazinga okucindezeleka aphansi.
Uma izinzuzo ezingaphatheki zezihlahla endaweni yethu zingebona ubufakazi obanele, kuthiwani ngamadola namasenti? Ucwaningo olwenziwe ngezihlahla eSigodini Esimaphakathi lubonise ukuthi isihlahla esisodwa esikhulu sizohlinzeka ngemali engaphezu kuka-$2,700 emvelweni nakwezinye izinzuzo phakathi nokuphila kwaso. Lokho kuyimbuyiselo engu-333% ekutshalweni kwezimali. Ezihlahleni ezinkulu ezingu-100 zomphakathi, imiphakathi ingonga ngaphezu kuka-$190,000 eminyakeni engu-40. Ngonyaka odlule, i-California ReLeaf yaxhasa ngezimali amaphrojekthi angaphezu kuka-50 nabalingani bomphakathi okuzoholela ekutshalweni kwezihlahla ezingaphezu kuka-20,000, nokudala noma ukugcinwa kwemisebenzi engaphezu kuka-300 nokuqeqeshwa kwemisebenzi yabantu abasha abaningi. Imboni yamahlathi asemadolobheni iyonke yengeze u-$3.6 billion emnothweni waseCalifornia ngonyaka odlule.
Ngakho-ke nansi inselelo yethu kuwe i-Los Angeles, i-San Diego, i-San Jose, i-San Francisco, i-Fresno, i-Long Beach, i-Oakland, i-Bakersfield, ne-Anaheim: njengelinye lamadolobha ayi-10 anabantu abaningi e-California, lwela ukujoyina i-Sacramento ku-10. uhlu olungcono kakhulu oluzothuthukisa umnotho wakho wamadolobha, ezempilo, ukuphepha, izinga lomoya kanye namanzi. Tshala izihlahla, unakekele kahle ezikhona, futhi utshale imali emadolobheni akho nengqalasizinda eluhlaza. Hlanganyela nathi ekuxhaseni ngezimali amaphrojekthi endawo, wenze amahlathi asemadolobheni abe ingxenye yezinqubomgomo zamadolobha akho, futhi wazise izihlahla nendawo eluhlaza njengengxenye ebalulekile yokuhlanza umoya, ukongiwa kwamandla, izinga lamanzi kanye nempilo nempilo yezakhamuzi zendawo yangakini.
Lezi yizixazululo eziholela eCalifornia engcono kanye nemiphakathi eluhlaza.
