在之前关于这个问题/主题的文章中，我说我不确定“庇护”城市的整个想法(和应用)的有效性，也说可能有一个更好的想法，但我还没有提供。在我看来，避难所并没有捕捉到这些城市所提供的“全部真相”。我们镇上有一位女士，她被当地教堂庇护了一段时间。到目前为止，虽然当局对她的行为保持控制，但她几乎没有什么自由，只有社区大部分人的支持和良好愿望。虽然她没有被ICE或其他任何人拘留，但她除了被关在四面墙内之外不能去任何地方。这就提出了一个观点，虽然不是我独有的观点，但至少在一定程度上证明了这种困境。I have framed my soliloquy as follows:

THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE WAYS OF LOOKING AT ANYTHING: YOUR WAY; MY WAY; AND HIS (OR HER) WAY. TROUBLE IS, IF NONE OF US ARE RIGHT, AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, WE ALL LOSE--- VICTIMS OF OUR OWN VERSION(S) OF THE DELUSION.

If the notion of sanctuary cities were to be somehow codified as law uniformly throughout the land, it would at least 'have some teeth'. As things stand, though, it is lip service, carrying only the shield of ethical behavior as its defense. Even so, this is a situational ethic, and as such it lacks everything it ought to demonstrate, save good intentions. There are numerous organizations who try to do good for the common folk. So, IF---and that is a big 'if'---sanctuary cities are to be the wave of equity towards those who need such, there would need to be some groundswell of will to enact (cringe) legislation. Perhaps someone has thought of this already. Perhaps there are efforts being made to make it so. I have not heard of any such movement. Experience shows you cannot make someone do something he/she does not wish to do, unless you make it a matter of law. This is the-more-so true when we are discussing lawmakers themselves. I have no personal stake; no dog in this hunt. Friends of mine who were impacted unfairly by this issue returned to their home country. They are happy enough there, do not suffer deprivations, nor do they worry about oppressive treatment by their government. Not yet, anyway... These well-educated folks wanted to become American citizens. Unfortunately, America did not want them badly enough to help 'make it so'. The jury is still out on this matter, so-to-speak.

给已经在这里生活和工作的居民提供避难所怎么样?我有一个激进的想法。这是非常简单的，但需要政治意愿来实施。所以，你肯定知道市长住房办公室和BMR(低于市场价格)计划。至少在我居住的旧金山有这样一个项目。然而，人们必须通过一系列符合资格的活动才能通过BMR计划购买房屋。2022世界杯小组赛分组
So just imagine, if you had to apply that same principle to rentals. We have tens of thousands of rentals that are frozen into 'rent controlled' units for 'legacy' tenants. There are hundreds of these 'legacy' tenants who are well able to afford to pay market rate rents. Why are these well heeled people squatting in homes, refusing to budge, and keeping them from being made available to those who earn less?
例如，我个人认识至少24个相当富裕的人，在某些情况下，他们花1000美元甚至更少的钱在旧金山买一套两床两卫的房子。你在斯托克顿付的房租都比这贵!我的意思是，这些人并不缺钱，他们完全可以支付4000美元/月的单价。为什么这些租金不能被冻结，让真正需要它的人使用呢?我们为什么要迎合这种贪婪?也有这样的例子:人们住在顺丰的“租金控制”单元，然后在伯克利/奥克兰/帕洛阿尔托租房或拥有单元。这是可以阻止的逃跑抢劫。
如果所有住在这些遗留单元的租户都被要求证明他们的需要值得住在这些单元，就像你想购买BMR单元一样。2022世界杯小组赛分组你就可以腾出几百个单位让我们这些没那么有钱的人使用。这是赤裸裸的贪婪，让人们在本该被真正需要的人占据的地方无动于衷。

我是一名退休的学校代课老师。我的一些同事从萨克拉门托的巴列霍一路开车去上班，因为他们被赶出了旧金山的房子。为什么这些单位不能提供给像他们这样的人呢?

I mean, this is an addressable problem, if we only had the will. If my plan seems unclear, please let me know and I will try to explain myself further.
Many thanks,

Being that organized crime is, well, organized, you can't justify your claims about crime rates. Take Madison Wisconsin as an example. You can say it has a very low crime rate all you want but you're likely unaware that it's high schools see more heroin overdose deaths than a city its size ever should. I've personally met the people behind it. It started with mafia leaving Chicago. Capone family, literally. No joke. After that, I've also personally met Mexican mafia outlets there. I've even met tebetian drug smugglers there. Done lines with all these people I'm mentioning, mind you. The Mexican mafia guy was the worst. You could get anything you wanted from that guy. And the story gets worse as u bring it back to that point about fallacious data. The Sherif department there fking loves cocaine. Lsd, heroin shrooms, meth, pcp, oh oh and hookers. Lots of them. They have one of the best brothels in the nation. Met a couple dozen rock stars, movie stars, comedians etc there. Trust me, you don't know sht. When you finish the wall, put computer guided laser turrets on top. It's literally a goddamned war you're not fighting but losing everyday in every classroom. All the hookers I grew up with said their teachers were their best customers.

No matter the regulations, be they federal, state, or local, helping another in need is inherently good, a defining character of humane(ity).

The only problem I see in the right or wrong of sanctuary cities is that governments believe they have the right to regulate what is our inherent right, to FREELY help those in need if we decide to do so or not.

Regulating help for those in need, be it for or against such help or need, can only be regulated by ones own free will, Any infringement to govern our inalienable right to help others would lead to a dissolution of humane. Imagine a world where we can only help another, be it a fellow human, an animal, a forest, river, ocean planet or tree, if we are governed to do so or not to do so, well I would be throwing in the towel today.

There would be no need for a heart!

Governments have no right to decide who to help and who we don't. But each and everyone of us does have the right to decide on our own, nothing more, nothing less.
