help make changes

I read all of the reviews on Jackson Michigan.
Yes, things have gone downhill here the last 40 years. There are many reasons why. The big reason that I have been a witness to is the welfare programs that are now in place. People who are able to work choose not to as they get everything handed to them. Welfare should not be a way of life - it should be a hand up when needed.
I have restored two (approx.) 100 year old homes here. We can all make a difference one home at a time. It does not take money to weed and keep your home nice and tidy. If everyone would do this that would improve the area a great deal.
Be the change you want to see in Jackson - the complaining will not help anything.
Weed, paint, pick up trash, buy local, support the farmers' markets, make a difference in your community.
There are SO many good things here. The gorgeous historical homes, the parks, the lakes, the wineries, the downtown library, family events, a clean downtown, the Grand River and NICE people for the most part.
Let's all pull together to make Jackson a better place. It can be done.
