Olga Diaz, nhengo yedare reguta reEscondido kwenguva refu, ari kukwikwidza muBhodhi reVatariri muDunhu rechitatu, achikwikwidzana naKristin Gaspar aripo, uyo anoda chigaro chechipiri. Sarudzo ichaitwa musi wa3 Kurume. Vaviri ava vakahwina mavhoti akawanda vachasangana zvakare muna Mbudzi kuti vatore mukombe.
Nguva pfupi yadarika ndakasangana nenhengo yedare remakurukota pane imwe yenzvimbo dzinofarirwa zvikuru dzekudya kwemangwanani dzaEscondido, Sunnyside Kitchen, kwaakatsanangura chikonzero chaanoita kukwikwidza. Sezvinozivikanwa nemunhu wese akatevera basa raDiaz, haatauri zvisina musoro. Paanotaura nezvemitemo, une zvakawanda zvekunyora nezvazvo.
“Nekuti ndinofunga kuti ndaizoita basa rakanaka kwazvo,” akadaro achipindura mubvunzo wekuti “Sei?” “Ndiyo nhanho yepamusoro yehurumende yemuno. Semunhu ashanda kwemakore angangoita gumi nemaviri, ndiyo nhanho inotevera. Chido changu ndechekubatsira vanhu. Ndakaita basa rakandiisa munzvimbo yekuita izvozvo.”
Kuna Diaz, pane nyaya dzakawanda asi nhatu dzinobata pfungwa: 1) Kuchinja kwemamiriro ekunze, 2) kushaya pekugara kwenguva refu uye 3) dzimba zvakajairika.
Kuchinja Kwemamiriro Ekunze: "Dunhu rakundikana kugadzira hurongwa hwekuita zvinhu hunodzivirira mamiriro ekunze." Kaviri, anodaro, hurongwa hwekuita zvinhu hunogona kurwiswa mudare hukabudirira. Kaviri, hwakagadzirwa neDunhu hwakaonekwa sehusina kukwana. "Izvozvo hazvina kukwana kuti zvizadzise zvinangwa zvedu zvekuburitsa magasi anodziya pasi. Kana, panguva yandinosarudzwa maitiro iwayo asati apera, ndicho chimwe chezvinhu zvekutanga zvandingade kushanda nazvo nevamwe vangu."
Anoti "nyaya yepasi rose inopfuura hurongwa hweCounty action," iyo inotanga nekuderedza kuwanda kwebudiriro, izvo zvinoita kuti vakawanda vashandise mota pane kutakura vanhu vakawanda, kufamba netsoka kana kutasva mabhasikoro kuenda kubasa. Izvi hazvirevi kuti dzimba dzichava shoma, asi, anodaro, dzimba dzakaoma. "Kana ukaramba uchivaka, uchibuda, uchisvika kunyika isina kuvandudzwa uchiri kugadzira mamiriro ezvinhu apo vanhu vanofanira kutyaira vachienda kubasa kunotsvaga mabasa, zvekudya, chikafu, peturu. Inzira yehupenyu isingade kunakidzwa sezvayakaita."
Pakanzuru, akashanda panyaya iyi, achishandisa chirongwa cheEscondido cheGeneral Plan kuti aedze kuganhurira budiriro yemaguta. "Idzi ndidzo nheyo dzandagara ndichitenda kwadziri kwenguva yakareba," akadaro Diaz. "Zvinonzi kukura kwakangwara. Zvinokwanisikawo mune zvemari nekuti watova nezvivakwa zviripo, migwagwa, maraibhurari zvitoro zvekutengesa." Semutariri, aizoganhurira nzvimbo dzinobvumirwa kupararira. "Ehe, pane chirongwa cheruzhinji icho kana chikatevedzwa chinobvumidza dzimba dzinosvika zviuru makumi mashanu pakuvaka. Guta rega rega rine chirongwa cheruzhinji uye dunhu rine chirongwa cheruzhinji, nevatariri vachishanda semutongi wekushandisa ivhu."
Dzimwe pfungwa dzinosanganisira, "Kuita zvese zvinobvira kuchengetedza nzvimbo dzakavhurika uye kuwana zvakawanda. Kuisa munzvimbo dzinochengetedzwa," akadaro. "Kune nzira dzakasiyana-siyana dzekuita izvozvo. Kuburikidza nemari yenyika neyedunhu. Kune masangano ekuchengetedza ivhu mukati medunhu (akadai seEscondido Creek Conservancy neSan Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority.) Kukura ikoko uye nzira dzekuchengetedza kwakakosha kune dunhu rese uye kunotsigira zvinangwa zvekuchinja kwemamiriro ekunze."
Anowedzera kuti, "Kuwedzera denga remiti yedu kwakakosha. Kudyara miti yakawanda! Miti inobvisa kabhoni mumhepo. Kune tsika dzakawanda dzinofanira kuchinjwa nevanhu kuti varwisane nekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze. Vamwe vanhu vanotyaira zvishoma. Vamwe vanofamba netsoka. Vamwe vanochinja tsika dzekudya kuti vadye nyama shoma - chiratidzo chekabhoni muindasitiri yenyama chakakosha. Idzo sarudzo dzevanhu pachavo dzinofanirwa kuitwa nevanhu. Pamwe chete izvi zvinofanira kuva nemigumisiro. Kurambidzwa kwakawanda uye kuderedzwa kwezvigadzirwa zvepurasitiki ikozvino kwava tsika yechipiri apo makore makumi maviri apfuura hapana akataura nezvekurambidza mabhegi epurasitiki kana mashanga. Iye zvino zvave kuonekwa sechinhu chakajairika kuita, kunyanya tichitarisa mavhidhiyo ese akagoverwa nezvekuparadzwa kweindasitiri yepurasitiki pasi rose maererano nemarara ari kuyerera munzizi nemakungwa. Vanhu vava kunyanya kungwarira mashandisiro avo zvinhu izvi."
Kubva pamaonero eDunhu, anodaro, kurwisa shanduko yemamiriro ekunze "kutsvaga nzira dzekuva nemotokari shoma mumigwagwa kana vanhu vanofamba daro diki kuenda kubasa. Saka vanhu vanowana nzira dzekuwana zvavanoda vasina kugara mumigwagwa mikuru kwemaawa akawanda."
Izvo zvakatisvitsa pakugara. "Chinhu chinonakidza nezvekugara kwevanhu vose ndechekuti hurumende yemuno haina kana imwe chete inovaka," akadaro Diaz. "Meya haasi kungogadzira nyundo nekuvaka dzimba. Tinowana mari yehurumende kuburikidza neHUD, kuburikidza nezviwanikwa zvehurumende, kuburikidza nemari dzevagadziri. Tinovapa kuti tiedze kuwana huwandu hwedzimba." Anoti zvikamu zviviri zvedzimba zvinowanzo tarisirwa, dzimba dzemhando yepamusoro, dzine mitengo yepamusoro uye dzimba dzinotsigirwa nerubatsiro. "Basa reindasitiri yekuvandudza nderekuita mari chete," anodaro. "Havana gwara retsika ravanofanira kutevedzera. Kune rimwe divi renyaya iyi kune dzimba dzinodhura dzinotsigirwa nerubatsiro. Kune mienzaniso yakati wandei yedzimba dzinodhura dzinotsigirwa nerubatsiro muEscondido," anodaro. "Hapana zvakakwana zveizvozvo asi pane zvakawanda zviri kuitwa kuti zvigadziriswe. Chiri kushaikwa idzimba dzekutanga." Anoyeuka imba yake yekutanga, yaive diki asi inokwanisika kutenga. "Chigadzirwa ichocho hachisi kugadzirwa chaizvo," anodaro.
"Mukukurukurirana kwangu nevagadziri vezvivakwa ndakabvunza kuti sei vasingavaki izvi uye vanoti, 'Hapana purofiti mairi' nekuti mitengo yevhu nemari yakakwira zvakanyanya," anodaro Diaz. Izvi zvinounza pfungwa yake yedzimba dzevashandi panzvimbo yeruzhinji. "Nezvemitengo yevhu, sangano rega rega rehurumende rine ivhu. Matunhu emvura, guta nedunhu. Kune ivhu rinochengetwa neruzhinji. Mukati menzvimbo dzehurongwa hwakajairika tinogona kuona ivhu rinogona kugadzirwa kuti rive dzimba. Ivhu reruzhinji rine zvinhu. Ndingada kuriunganidza uye kugadzira simba remasimba pamwe chete." Anoda modhi yeJPA nekuti inogadzira mutoro wakagovaniswa uye simba rakagovaniswa: "Harisi basa resangano rimwe chete asi pamwe chete vanogona." Anokurudzira JPAs kune ivhu riripo rehurumende. "Gadzira kubatana nevatariri pakutsvaga ivhu rinogona kuvakwa. Sezvo ivhu risingabhadharise mugadziri, kukosha kwevhu hakusi dambudziko."
Dzimba idzi dzevashandi dzinogona kupararira muDunhu rese rinosanganisira maguta anoda kutora chikamu. Dzinosanganisira vashandi vehurumende vakaita sevanodzima moto nevadzidzisi. "Kune zviuru nezviuru zvevashandi vehurumende, kungave kuchipatara kana dunhu remvura kana chikoro. Kuti ukwanise, unofanira kuita chimwe chinhu. Hazvizove zvemahara. Zvakanaka," anodaro, "mari yerendi inobhadhara kuvaka, asi havazofaniri kubhadhara ivhu. Izvi hazvizoshandi kune wese munhu asi zvichashanda kune vamwe. Unofanira kugara pedyo nekwaunoshanda. Haufanire kuwedzera migwagwa mikuru." Izvi zvinodzokera kuzvinangwa zvake zvekuchinja kwemamiriro ekunze.
"Ipfungwa ine chinangwa chikuru uye inoda kushanda pamwe chete," anodaro. "Dambudziko harisi kuzvigadzirisa rega saka iri ipfungwa inoda shasha. Kubva pakuva maneja wedunhu ndinofunga kuti ndaigona kushandisa pfungwa iyoyo."
Anofarirawo pfungwa yekukurudzira makambani makuru ane nzvimbo huru dzekupaka mota, dzakadai seQualcomm, kuti ape 10% yenzvimbo dzavo dzekupaka mota kudzimba dzevashandi. "Hazvizove zvemahara asi zvaizokuisa pedyo nebasa rako. Nzvimbo dzekupaka mota dzava dzimba. Kubvisa mari yevhu kubva mukuvandudza kunoderedza mari kune vanogadzira zvinhu." Anofarirawo kugadzira nzvimbo dzekare dzekupaka mota.
Hapana pfungwa yakanaka, anoda nzira dzakawanda. "Kunyangwe hurongwa hweSANDAG hwekuita kuti kutakurwa kwevanhu kuve nyore kudhura hausi hwekubvisa munhu wese mumotokari yake, asi gumi muzana," anodaro. "Izvo zvinoderedza kuburitswa kwemhepo inopisa. Unofanira kuita zvinhu zvese izvozvo, uye hazvisi zvehurumende chete, asi vanhu vemarudzi ese vari kuedza kuzviita pamwe chete."
Anosimbisa kuti "hatidi kungovaka chero chinhu. Tinoda zvigadzirwa zvemhando yepamusoro zvicharamba zvakanaka mumakore makumi mashanu. Zvakakosha kuvaka nekuti tine dambudziko rezvinhu zviripo, asi hatigone kuvaka tisina hupenyu hwakanaka, tisina kuwedzera nzira dzekufamba netsoka nezvinhu zvinodiwa. Kana zvikasadaro vanhu havazodi kugara ikoko."
Diaz anoda kutarisa pakushaya pekugara kwenguva refu. Paaishanda kuInterfaith, akaona, "pedyo kuti masevhisi emagariro evanhu anoshanda sei uye asingashande sei. Uye kuti Dunhu rinobatana sei nemasangano asingabatsiri. Chikamu chikuru chebhajeti reDunhu remadhora mabhiriyoni matanhatu nehafu chinoenda kuHealth and Human Services. Imwe yenzira dzavanogovera ndeyekupa rubatsiro kumasangano asingabatsiri. Inoisa mitemo yekubatsira vanhu, kuburikidza nematanho ekuzviriritira kuti akubatsire kudzoka patsoka dzako. Ndiyo yave iri chinangwa, kubatsira vanhu kudzoka patsoka dzavo."
Chisina kubatanidzwa mumuenzaniso uyu, anodaro, itsitsi nekugamuchira. "Pane chikamu chevanhu chatinofanira kugara tichitarisira. Paunosangana nevanhu vasina pekugara kwenguva refu, unosvika pakuziva kuti hazvina basa kuti Dunhu rinopa mari yakawanda sei, kuzviriritira hakusi mukana wemunhu wese. Ndiri kutaura nezvevanhu vane matambudziko ehutano hwepfungwa asingakundiki. Hazvina hunhu kufunga kuti vachasvika padanho rehupenyu ravasingazodi kutungamirirwa. Hapana chinhu chimwe chete chinokodzera kugadzirisa mamiriro ezvinhu iwayo."
Anotenda kuti huwandu hwevanhu hunopfuura hafu yevanhu vasina pekugara. "Vanhu vazhinji vanoda rutsigiro rusingaperi." Anofarira nzira yekuvimba inoshandiswa neVeterans Administration kune vamwe vevatengi vayo. "Varwi vehondo vanopedzisira vasisina pekugara nguva dzose, havashandisi mari yavo zvakanaka. Vanobirirwa. Unogadza mumwe munhu kuti atarisire mari yake, abhadhare rendi, atenge zvekudya. Izvozvo zvine musoro kwandiri nekuti zvinoita sekunge zvingagadzirisa matambudziko akawanda kune vanhu vasingakwanisi kuzviitira vega. Ndinoziva vanhu vanoongororwa mari yavo uye mukati memazuva mashoma inenge yapera. Vanotsamwisa. Kana uine vanhu vari mumamiriro ezvinhu akadaro kakawanda - uye tinoziva kuti ndivanaani - unofanira kukwanisa kupindira kuti uvabatsire kuti vasapinda mumamiriro ezvinhu akadaro."
Zviri pachena kuti mitemo inofanira kuchinjwa kuti izvi zviitike. Saka kune avo vanoda nzvimbo yekurara, pachine chikonzero chekuvaka nzvimbo yekuvachengeta. "Ndinoda modhi yedhomitari. Nzvimbo dzakawanda dzinoda rutsigiro uye kuva nemakamuri ega ega, asi nenzvimbo yakajairika, uye cafeteria kuitira kuti uve nevashandi varipo kuti uve nechokwadi chekuti vakachengeteka uye vane mishonga uye vachiwana rubatsiro rwavanoda. Modhi yedzimba yave iri yekuvaka dzimba dzakatenderedza dzimba asi ini ndinoda dhomitari, nekuti inopa mikana yekudyidzana."
Achibvunzwa maonero ake nezvechirongwa cheSOS, Measure A, Diaz akati, "Handisi kutsigira. Ndinopindura mubvunzo iwoyo zvechokwadi kana wabvunzwa. Ndichauvhotera. Handityi migumisiro yeSOS. Inoenderana zvikuru neProp. S pano muEscondido, iyo yave iri pano kwemakumi emakore. Haina kukura kwakasimba. Chinongoitwa chete kumisa chirongwa cheGeneral Plan. Chirongwa ichi chinogadzirwa kuburikidza nekubatsira kwenharaunda uye kushanda nesimba kukuru kugadzira nekuronga kukura kweguta mune ramangwana."
Chirongwa cheDunhu chakaburitswawo kuburikidza nemisangano yakawanda yeruzhinji uye pfungwa. "Kana wava neChirongwa cheDunhu chakatenderwa nevavhoti, SOS inochimisa kuitira kuti shanduko dzidiwe mvumo yevavhoti. Handifungi kuti izvozvo zvakaipa. Zvinobvumira kuvimba nemaitiro ekuronga. Pane kunyanyisa kwakawanda kwakapoteredza. Handisi munhu wekuita kuti pave nenyaya. Handifarire kutsamwisa vanhu kana kutyisidzira vanhu. Kana SOS ikapasa, zvese zvichafamba zvakanaka. Kana ikapasa hapana chinochinja."
Diaz haatenderi kupomerwa kwekuti chimwe chinhu chakaita seSOS chinowedzera kushaya pekugara. "Zvinongoomesa mapurani. Vari kutovaka mukati mawo. Hazvichinje mapurani. Vakai pamunobvumirwa kuvaka. Chinhu chega chazvichaita kuti zviome kuita kufungidzira ivhu."
Chikonzero chikuru chechinhu chakaita seSOS kushaikwa kwekuvimbana nemasangano ehurumende, anodaro. "Munowana sei chivimbo zvakare? Hazvisi pachena kuti kuDunhu kwave nekubatana kwakakosha pakati pebhodhi neveruzhinji."
