Toledo, OH-
A recent study shows that the City of Toledo’s homeless population has dropped by 27% in the past 3 months and comes on the heels of a new U.S. Census Bureau study that shows the City of Toledo has lost 2,413 residents or 0.8% of it’s population between July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008 City officials, led by Mayor Carty Finkbeiner were quick to defend Toledo’s drop in population as merely the fruits of the administration efforts to rid the city of homeless people.
In August of 2007 Mayor Carty Finkbeiner instituted a double secret plan to make Toledo as unattractive to homeless people as possible thereby forcing them to follow the rest of Toledo’s residents to the suburbs.
“My plan worked, we have successfully eradicated approximately 21 homeless people from the streets of Toledo” said Mayor Finkbeiner.
Details of the "double secret" plan have been held very secret but sources inside One Government Center say a decrease in safety, roadblocks for economic development, and anything else that could bring the morale of the city to its lowest point in years were all part of the master plan.
When asked about the other 2,392 people that have left the city Mayor Finkbeiner said:
“You have to take the good with the bad, those 2,392 people that also left were probably losers anyways, and I hope all those homeless people went to Swanton or any of the other surrounding areas that are always bitching about our water supply contracts”
A decrease in population has significant effects of the City of Toledo when it comes to attracting new business and receiving federal grants from HUD and other federal agencies.
“ I could care less what happens with federal grants or new businesses, my goal for the next few months is to drive Toledo as far down as I can and to let the next guy deal with cleaning up my mess.” Said Mayor Finkbeiner
