The crack cocaine 19 hit the city particularly hard. Drug addicts were robbing peopleand stealing anything just to feed their habits. The streets at night seemed to belong to drug dealers orrival gangs fighting for 20 . Even crimes that did not hurt people, like 21 and graffiti,scared enough residents that people were wary of taking the subways, especially on certain lines, afterdark. To 22 these problems, Hutchinson Persons, a rock musician, came up with the idea of startinga street newspaper. Instead of delivering 23 newspapers like The New York Times or New YorkPost to customers, Street News’ inventive idea was that homeless people would sell papers on the streetand 24 a share of the profits. This would not only cut down on delivery costs, but also help thesellers break the cycle of homelessness. Street News was extremely popular in the short term, and it alsoinfluenced other cities to make street newspapers. One that started in London and is sold in some trainstations in Taiwan is called The Big Issue.To sell The Big Issue, a few 25 are required. A person must either be homeless, intemporary housing, or in danger of losing their place to live. If someone meets these requirements, theycan head to The Big Issue office and start selling right away. At first, they will be given free copies to getstarted. They will also be directed to an empty 26 point. Once the sellers make enough money,they must purchase The Big Issue and then sell them for double the price. That way, they can start makingmoney and solve some of their problems. The Big Issue offices also offer counseling for drug or alcohol27 , housing assistance, and even health training.
