    Letters to the Editor — Quantifiable contributions

    Editor — During my reading of the Tower, I found it really good with several great stories. While there were several great stories, nothing caught my attention too much. But my sentiments toward the homelessness issue is of concern.
    This story is heart-wrenching in that this has been a problem for countless years in this country. While the causes and solutions to homelessness are complex, there is much that an individual or community group can do to help. No matter your skills, interests, age, or race, you can help.
    It just frustrates me that there are so many people that are homeless in the United States. I just feel that the rate of homeless people should be reduced. We need to make more jobs available for the homeless since there are many out there who have something valuable to contribute to society.

    Letters to the Editor
    The Tower accepts letters to the editor. Letters should be 150 words or fewer. Email letters to laneytower(at)peralta.edu with the subject line “letter.” We sometimes edit for space and clarity.

    About the Contributor
    In the fall of 2019, The Laney Tower rebranded as The Citizen and launched a new website. These stories were ported over from the old Laney Tower website, but byline metadata was lost in the port. However, many of these stories credit the authors in the text of the story. Some articles may also suffer from formatting issues. Future archival efforts may fix these issues.
