    I think the money should got to support everyone effected by the pandemic. It's not fair to tell someone because their single with no kids that they are not struggling. It's single homeless people just as much as there are single mothers with children or families under a world of distress living paycheck to paycheck. We vote for our leaders to be in office it would be nice to think that in their times when they have a chance to make a difference that they think of us and weigh what's most important to the people and what can help the community as a whole. Construction of banks and roads should be last thought when so many are struggling. The city should be pushing the creation and innovation of businesses , giving veterans a chance to create as well. More small businesses can potentially increase the economic impact and lead to growth. Those who are in office should develop a program that can help fund you for your business, not only but also step by step guidance to create a successful business, if under a certain income limit or offer a location with a stipulations of a year free of leasing so that people have room and opportunity to grow without feeling oppressed. This will create a bandwagon effect and give people at the bottom a sense of hope. That's what's missing without hope of a better community , a stable economy regardless of covid-19 how can we ever truly expect to fight this pandemic. Give the people at the bottom of the totem pole a fighting chance !
