I think we all have.

10409
1249
我想我们都见过
00:23
If you're being honest,
3
11682
1165
老实说，
你是否至少有一次好奇过
他们是否是认真的？
他们是否是认真的？
00:24
at least one time,
have you wondered if they mean it?
have you wondered if they mean it?

00:28
If we offered them a job,
would they really take it?

如果我们给他们一份工作，
他们真的会接受吗？
他们真的会接受吗？
而那份工作对他们的人生

And what would that job mean

Well, this is a story
about what happened in my city
about what happened in my city
7
23243
2801
这是一个发生在我所在城市的故事，
于是我们决定去一探究竟。
00:38
when we decided to find out,
8
26068
1552
00:40
when we decided to think differently
about panhandling,
about panhandling,
9
28712
3387
我们决定用另一种方式看待乞讨
并且用工作的尊严让人们振作起来。
00:44
and lift people up
through the dignity of work.
through the dignity of work.
10
32123
2897
00:48
We call it, "There's a Better Way."
11
36134
1777
我们称之为“有更好的方法”。
00:50
We call it There's a Better Way
12
38384
1493
我们之所以取这个名字
是因为我相信，比起在街角乞讨，
00:51
because I believe there's a better way
to get the money you need
to get the money you need
13
39901
3038
总会有更好的方式
去获得你需要的钱。
去获得你需要的钱。
00:54
than panhandling on the corner.
14
42963
1667
00:57
I believe there's a better way
to help your brothers and sisters in need
to help your brothers and sisters in need
15
45260
3898
我相信，比起从车窗递出几美元，
还有更好的方法
去帮助那些处于困境的同胞们。
去帮助那些处于困境的同胞们。
01:01
than handing a few dollars
out the car window.
out the car window.
16
49182
2333
01:04
We know there's dignity in work.
17
52474
1898
我们知道工作能带给人尊严。
01:07
We also know that people are much more
likely to invest in themselves
likely to invest in themselves
18
55110
3396
我们也知道如果人们
相信社会愿意在他们身上投资，
相信社会愿意在他们身上投资，
他们也就更有可能投资他们自己。
01:10
if they believe that their community
is willing to invest in them first.
is willing to invest in them first.
19
58530
3640
01:15
And because we're all wired
to be kind and compassionate,
to be kind and compassionate,
20
63484
3303
因为我们天生就是善良而富有同情心的，
给处于困境的人几美元，
01:18
it always feels good to hand
a couple of dollars to someone
a couple of dollars to someone
21
66811
3505
总是赠人玫瑰，手有余香。
01:22
that is in need.
22
70340
1201
01:24
But if you talk to panhandlers,
many of them will tell you
many of them will tell you
23
72807
3427
但是如果你跟乞讨者交谈，
他们中的很多人会告诉你，
他们中的很多人会告诉你，
你那几块钱未必会被拿来填饱肚子，
01:28
that your few dollars don't necessarily
go towards feeding the body,
go towards feeding the body,
24
76258
5190
他们可能会拿它去满足其它嗜好。
01:33
they go towards feeding an addiction.
25
81472
2006
01:36
There's a better way.
26
84484
1289
还有比这更好的方式。
01:38
My name is Richard Berry,
27

1272
我叫理查德·贝瑞，
我做着全世界最好的工作之一
01:39
and I have one of the best

我是新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基
01:42
I get to be the mayor
of a great American city,

29
90276
2434
这个伟大的美国城市的市长。
01:44
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
30
92734
1568
01:47
I was at lunch on July 17, 2015,
in my great American city,
in my great American city,
31
95946
5445
2015年7月17日，
我在这伟大的美国城市中吃完午餐，
我在这伟大的美国城市中吃完午餐，
01:54
and on my way back to city hall,
32
102173
2224
在回市政厅的路上
看到了这个男子站在路口。
01:56
I saw this gentleman standing on a corner.
33
104421
2191
01:59
As you can see, he's holding a sign,
34
107076
1956
正如你所看到的，他举着一块牌子，
上面写着他想要一份工作。
02:01
and his sign says he wants a job.
35
109056
1915
02:03
But if you look closer at the picture,
36
111673
1842
但如果你更仔细地看这张照片，
你会发现他正站在一块蓝色牌子下，
02:05
you'll see he's standing
underneath a blue sign,
underneath a blue sign,
37
113539
2239
而牌子上写着，
如果你需要食品或庇护所，
如果你需要食品或庇护所，
02:07
and that sign says, if you need help,
if you need food or shelter
if you need food or shelter
38
115802
4112
或者你想要捐赠，
02:11
or you'd like to donate,
39
119938
1257
请拔打我们的社区服务号码 311。
02:13
please call 311,
our community service number.
our community service number.
40
121219
2796
02:17
So why is this guy standing
underneath my sign with his sign?
underneath my sign with his sign?
41
125473
4881
为什么这个人要举着他的牌子
站在我的牌子下？
站在我的牌子下？
02:23
Well, we wondered
if anybody would call that 311 sign,
if anybody would call that 311 sign,
42
131069
2565
我们很好奇，是否会有人
拔打牌子上写的311，
拔打牌子上写的311，
结果是，有人打过——
02:25
and as it turns out, they did --
43
133658
1556
这个号码被拔打过11000次。
02:27
11,000 times people called.
44
135238
1731
我们在约30个路口设立了这一标志。
02:28
I put those up in about 30 intersections.
45
136993
2064
我们也的确给他们提供了
食物、住处和服务。
食物、住处和服务。
02:31
And we did connect them
with food and shelter and services.
with food and shelter and services.
46
139081
3374
但是这个人仍然站在我的标语下，
02:34
But yet he's still standing under my sign
47
142479
2062
举着一个需要工作的牌子。
02:36
with a sign that says he wants a job.
48
144565
1882
02:40
It's simple: he wants a job.
49
148088
1607
原因很简单：他想要一份工作。
02:43
So I decided to do
something rare in government.
something rare in government.
50
151315
2412
因此我决定做一件政府不常做的事情。
02:46
I decided to make the solution simpler
rather than more complicated.
rather than more complicated.
51
154319
4283
我决定让解决方案更简单
而不是更复杂。
而不是更复杂。
我回到办公室，
召集了身边的员工，
召集了身边的员工，
02:50
I went back to my office,
I gathered my staff around
I gathered my staff around
52
158626
2525
对他们说：”我们要相信他所说的
02:53
and I said, "We're going
to take this man at his word,
to take this man at his word,
53
161175
2611
以及其他跟他一样的人。
02:55
and others like him.
54
163810
1185
这个人说他想要一份工作，
我们将会给他一份工作，
我们将会给他一份工作，
02:57
The man says he wants a job,
we're going to give him a job,
we're going to give him a job,
55
165019
2777
同时我们也将会
使我们的城市变得更好。“
使我们的城市变得更好。“
02:59
and we're going to make our city
an even better place in the meantime."
an even better place in the meantime."
56
167820
3809
03:04
You see, Albuquerque is a beautiful place.
57
172099
2209
阿尔伯克基是个很美的地方。
海拔为一英里
03:06
We're a mile high,
58
174332
1271
桑迪亚山脉延绵于城市东边，
03:07
the Sandia Mountains on the east,
59
175627
2106
格兰德河穿过城市中央；
03:09
the Rio Grande runs through
the center of the city;
the center of the city;
60
177757
2540
我们是阿尔伯克基
国际热气球节的发源地。

03:12
we're the home of the Albuquerque

61
180321

在今天这样的天气状况下，
03:15
On a day like today,
62
183409
1164
你可以早上去滑雪，
下午去打高尔夫球。
下午去打高尔夫球。
03:16
you could literally ski this morning
and golf this afternoon.
and golf this afternoon.
63
184597
2944
03:20
But there's always something to do --
64
188031
1891
但总是还有一些事需要去做——
总是有些野草需要去除，
有垃圾需要清理。
有垃圾需要清理。
03:21
always weeds to pull, litter to pick up.
65
189946
2102
03:24
If you're going to have an initiative
like this in your city,
like this in your city,
66
192805
2936
如果你想在你的城市
提出类似的方案，
提出类似的方案，
就需要问自己两个问题。
03:27
you have to ask yourself two questions.
67
195765
1895
第一个是：你的城市
还有什么需要做的工作？
还有什么需要做的工作？
03:29
First one is: Is there anything
left to do in your city?
left to do in your city?
68
197684
2670
如果你的答案是没有，
03:32
And if the answer is no,
69
200378
1182
请给我你们市长的电话号码，
03:33
would you please give me
your mayor's phone number,
your mayor's phone number,
70
201584
2408
因为我需要一些建议。
03:36
because I need some advice.
71
204016
1323
（笑声）
03:37
(Laughter)
72
205363
1007
而你必须要问的
第二个问题是这样的：
第二个问题是这样的：
03:38
But the second question
you have to ask is this:
you have to ask is this:
73
206394
2267
你解决城市乞讨的方法有效吗？
03:40
Are your solutions to panhandling working?
74
208685
2364
03:44
If you're like Albuquerque,
75
212686
1286
如果你像阿尔伯克基市一样
采取我们过去所用的惩罚性措施，
03:45
and you're taking the punitive
approach like we used to,
approach like we used to,
76
213996
2646
对乞讨者或者施舍者罚款。
03:48
handing out tickets to panhandlers
or those who give them money,
or those who give them money,
77
216666
3134
我想说你们的解决方案不会有用，
03:51
I'm going to suggest
that your solutions aren't working,
that your solutions aren't working,
78
219824
2674
而且我知道你还没有找到
你的城市问题的根源。
你的城市问题的根源。
03:54
and I know you're not getting
to the root of your problem in your city.
to the root of your problem in your city.
79
222522
3598
03:58
So if you have something to do
80
226785
1621
所以，如果你有事要做，
04:01
and you need people
that need something to do,
that need something to do,
81
229185
2601
并且需要一些找事情做的人
其实有一种更好的方法。
04:03
there's a better way.
82
231810
1210
好消息是，它不是很复杂。
04:05
And the good news is,
it's not that complicated.
it's not that complicated.
83
233044
2303
04:07
This a 2006 Dodge van.
84
235860
2456
这是一辆2006年的道奇厢式货车，
04:10
It was in my motor pool
not doing anything.
not doing anything.
85
238674
2652
原本闲置在我的停车场。
我们给它换了新轮胎，
并在车身上喷绘了标志。
并在车身上喷绘了标志。
04:13
We put some new tires on it,
wrapped it with a logo.
wrapped it with a logo.
86
241350
2942
我们把这辆车开到乞讨者所在的街角
04:16
This van now goes out to street corners
where our panhandlers are --
where our panhandlers are --
87
244316
3795
我们开着车去找他们。
04:20
we go to them.
88
248135
1189
04:21
We stop the van, we get out,
89
249856
1446
我们停下车，打开车门，
询问他们是否愿去做一天的工作，
04:23
we ask them if they
would like a day's work
would like a day's work
90
251326
2032
而不是乞讨一天。
04:25
rather than panhandling for the day.
91
253382
1959
04:28
And if you wondered
if they really mean it --
if they really mean it --
92
256341
2359
你可能好奇他们是否真的想工作——
04:31
it takes us about an hour
to fill this van up in the morning,
to fill this van up in the morning,
93
259935
2957
早上我们花了大概一个小时
就装满了一车人,
就装满了一车人,
因为几乎我们问的每个人
都接受了一天的工作。
都接受了一天的工作。
04:34
because almost everybody we ask
takes a job for the day.
takes a job for the day.
94
262916
3419
04:39
But you need more than just a van.
95
267373
1662
但你需要的不仅仅是一辆箱型车，
04:41
You need a super-fantastic
human being to drive that van.
human being to drive that van.
96
269587
2924
你还需要一个非常出色的人
去驾驶这辆车。
去驾驶这辆车。
04:45
And my super-fantastic human being,
his name is Will.
his name is Will.
97
273276
2670
而我的这个出色的驾驶员名叫威尔，
穿着黄色背心的人就是他。
04:47
This is him in the yellow vest.
98
275970
1771
威尔为我们当地的非营利合作伙伴工作。
04:49
Will works at our local nonprofit partner.
99
277765
2534
他每天都跟这些流浪者打交道。
04:52
He works with the homeless every day.
100
280323
1823
乞讨者信任他，
04:54
The panhandlers trust him,
101
282170
1729
04:56
he believes in them,
102
284696
1376
他也信任这些乞讨者。
04:58
he hustles.
103
286703
1215
是他促成了这件事。
05:00
I like to say, "Where
there's a Will, there's a way."
there's a Will, there's a way."
104
288285
2633
我想说“有志者事竟成”。
（注：“志”和“威尔”的英语相同）
（注：“志”和“威尔”的英语相同）
05:03
So if you're going to do
the Better Way campaign in your city,
the Better Way campaign in your city,
105
291326
2994
所以如果你打算在你的城市
发起“更好的方法”运动，
发起“更好的方法”运动，
也需要找到一个威尔。
05:06
you need to find yourself a Will,
106
294344
1652
05:09
because he's really one of the keys
to making this successful
to making this successful
107
297340
3657
因为他真的是使得这件事
在阿尔伯克基成功的关键因素之一。
05:13
in the city of Albuquerque.
108
301021
1600
你还需要一个很棒的
非营利合作伙伴。
非营利合作伙伴。
05:14
You also need a great nonprofit partner.
109
302645
2187
与我们合作的是圣马丁服务中心。
05:16
Ours is St. Martin's Hospitality Center.
110
304856
2523
他们已经入驻我们社区30多年了。
05:19
They've been in our community
for over 30 years.
for over 30 years.
111
307403
2509
他们提供咨询、食物、临时住所，
05:21
They provide counseling, food, shelter,
112
309936
2513
如果有些服务无法提供，
05:24
and if they don't provide it,
113
312473
1403
他们也知道在我们的城市中有谁能提供。
05:25
they know somebody in our city that does.
114
313900
2016
05:28
But they do something much more
for me as the mayor.
for me as the mayor.
115
316550
2443
从市长的角度而言，
他们为我做的就更多了。
他们为我做的就更多了。
他们给我提供了灵活性。
05:31
They provide agility.
116
319017
1635
通常我要花两个星期，
05:32
You see, it takes me two weeks,
117
320676
2213
有时甚至要两个月
05:34
maybe two months sometimes,
118
322913
1770
去给一个人在阿尔伯克基市安排工作。
05:36
to onboard an employee
with the city of Albuquerque.
with the city of Albuquerque.
119
324707
2535
05:40
So you could imagine --
120
328024
1755
所以你可以想像——
一辆破旧的道奇车，
05:41
my old Dodge van,
121
329803
1169
一位超级出色的伙伴，威尔，
05:42
my super-fantastic human being, Will,
122
330996
2310
一个非常棒的地方非营利合作伙伴——
05:45
a great local nonprofit partner --
123
333330
1895
他们来到街角，看到一个乞讨者，
05:47
they drive to the corner,
there's a panhandler,
there's a panhandler,
124
335249
2234
他们问“你想找一份当天的工作吗？”
05:49
they say, "Would you like
to work for the day?"
to work for the day?"
125
337507
2254
乞讨者说，“是的”，
05:51
The panhandler says, "Yes,"
126
339785
1296
然后威尔说，“很好，
我会在六周后过来接你。”
我会在六周后过来接你。”
05:53
and Will says, "Great! I'll be back
in six weeks to pick you up."
in six weeks to pick you up."
127
341105
3148
（笑声）
05:56
(Laughter)
128

这行不通的。
05:57
It wouldn't work.

灵活性在我们这个项目中真的很重要。

It's really important that we have
that agility in our program.

他们搞定保险，

I don't know if you've ever

我知们道它们很轻，
06:38
but they don't weigh much,
145
386456
1281
所以你可以想像我们清理了多少东西。
06:39
so you can imagine the volume
of material that we've picked up.

We send our trucks out
at the end of the day,
at the end of the day,
149
398389

我们在每天傍晚派出垃圾车，
他们帮助乞讨者将白天清理出的废物

they help the panhandlers
put into the truck

1503
我很幸运，有愿意跟乞讨者
06:58
I'm lucky that I have city employees

并肩工作的政府员工。
07:00
that are willing to work side by side

07:06
And like anything else --
listen, it takes resources.

156
414374

但是好消息是，它不需要太多资源。
07:09
But the good news is it doesn't take much.
157
417464
2728
07:13
We started with an old van,
158
421181
1839
我们开始时只有一辆旧道奇车，
一个非常出色的人，
07:15
a super-fantastic human being,
159
423044
1738
一家很棒的地方非营利组织
07:16
a great local nonprofit

424806
1294
以及5万美金。
07:18
and $50,000.
161
426124
1596
07:20
But we also had to have community trust.
162
428648
2166
但是我们还必须要赢得社会的信任。
幸运的是，我们在“更好的方法”
启动前就建立了这种信任。
启动前就建立了这种信任。
07:22
And fortunately, we had built
that up in years prior to Better Way.
that up in years prior to Better Way.
163
430838
3547
07:26
We have a program called
"Albuquerque Heading Home,"

164
434958
2510
我们有一个项目叫作
“回到阿尔伯克基的家”，

07:29
a Housing First model where we house
the chronically homeless,

当我告诉我的社区，
我们想用不同的方式去做，

07:32
and when I told my community
we wanted to do that differently,
we wanted to do that differently,
166
440560

我说有更聪明的方法去做正确的事情。
07:35
I said there's a smart way
to do the right thing.

167
443669
2657
07:38
We have now housed 650 chronically

169
450909
2806
07:46
We commissioned our university,
they studied it.
they studied it.
170
454357
2369
我们委托大学去研究它，
我们可以告诉纳税人，
比起任由那些人在街头

07:48
We could tell the taxpayers,
we can save you 31.6 percent

为生存而挣扎，我们其实可以
节省 31.6% 的社会成本。

173

3998
我们安置了650个人，
同时也节省了超过五百万美元。
同时也节省了超过五百万美元。
我们赢得了社会的信任，
08:00
So we had that community trust,
174
468452
1967
但是作为一个社会整体，
08:02
but we had to have a little bit more
of an honest conversation also
of an honest conversation also
175
470443
3215
我们还需要更多开诚布公的交流，
08:05
as a community,
176
473682
1487
因为我们要让人们明白
08:07
because we had to get people to understand
177
475193
2026
当他们从车窗里递出去5美元时，
08:09
that when they hand
those five dollars out the window,
those five dollars out the window,
178
477243
2543
实际上反而弱化了他们
08:11
they might actually be minimizing
their opportunity
their opportunity
179
479810
2396
帮助困境者的机会，原因如下：
08:14
to help the person in need,
and here's why:
and here's why:
180
482230
2056
这5美元可能
今天会被用来买快餐——
今天会被用来买快餐——
08:16
that five dollars might go
to buying some fast food today --

181
484310

但更多时候可能
被用来购买毒品和酒。
被用来购买毒品和酒。
08:20
a lot of times it goes to buying
drugs and alcohol.
drugs and alcohol.
182
488147
2502
08:23
That same five dollars,
183
491172
1151
同样的5美元，
如果你将它交给我们的某个庇护所，
08:24
if you gave it to one of our shelters,
184
492347
2258
可以用它来填饱7个人的肚子。
08:26
could feed seven people today.
185
494629
1761
而如果你将它交给
当地的食物银行或食物站，
当地的食物银行或食物站，
08:28
And if you gave it to one of our local
food banks or food pantries,
food banks or food pantries,
186
496414
4282
就能帮助20个人。
08:32
we could actually feed
20 people with that money.
20 people with that money.
187
500720
2510
08:37
People ask,"Well, Albuquerque
is 600,000 people -- million, metro --
is 600,000 people -- million, metro --
188
505891
4848
人们会问“阿尔伯克基有60万人，
将来会有上百万的人，成为大都市……
将来会有上百万的人，成为大都市……
这在我们的城市行不通，
城市太大，我们太渺小。”
城市太大，我们太渺小。”
08:42
this wouldn't work in our city,
we're too big, we're too small."
we're too big, we're too small."
189
510763
3091
我不同意这种观点：
只要有一个城市街区有一个乞讨者，
只要有一个城市街区有一个乞讨者，
08:45
I disagree; if you have
one panhandler on one city block,
one panhandler on one city block,
190
513878
2695
你就可以做得到。
08:48
you can do this.
191
516597
1156
如果你住在一个有850万人口的城市，
08:49
If you live in a city
of eight-and-half million people,
of eight-and-half million people,
192
517777
2618
你也可以这么做。
08:52
you can do this.
193
520419
1155
其实你做什么并不重要，
08:53
It doesn't matter what you do.
194
521598
1477
重要的不是你做的具体工作，
而是工作的尊严，
而是工作的尊严，
08:55
It's not the work that you do,
it's the dignity of the work.
it's the dignity of the work.
195
523099
2862
做什么都可以。
08:57
You could do anything.
196
525985
1158
因此我认为任何城市都能做到。
08:59
So I think any city could do this.
197
527167
2100
有人对我说，
09:01
And people say to me,
198
529291
1199
“市长，这也太简单了。
09:02
"Mayor, that's just a little too simple.
199
530514
2064
09:05
It can't work that way."
200
533377
2084
事情不可能这么简单。”
但是朋友，让我告诉你们：
09:07
But I tell you what, friends:
201
535485
1549
当你去到街角，
09:09
when you go to a street corner
202
537058
1443
跟一个乞讨者交谈，
报以礼貌和尊敬，
报以礼貌和尊敬，
09:10
and you engage with a panhandler
with dignity and respect,
with dignity and respect,
203
538525
2928
可能就是他们多年来
或人生中头一次被尊重。
或人生中头一次被尊重。
09:13
maybe for the first time in years,
maybe in their life,
maybe in their life,
204
541477
2700
你告诉他们：你相信他们，
09:16
and you tell them that you believe in them
205
544201
2055
这是你的城市，同样也是他们的城市，
09:18
and that this is their city
as much as it's your city,
as much as it's your city,
206
546280
2672
事实上你需要他们来帮助
我们的城市变得更好
我们的城市变得更好
09:20
and that you actually need their help
to make our place better,
to make our place better,
207
548976
4767
你知道这并不能解决
他们所有的问题，
他们所有的问题，
09:25
and you understand that this
isn't the answer to all their problems,
isn't the answer to all their problems,
208
553767
3318
但这至少是个不错的开始，
09:29
but at least it's a start,
209
557109
1918
神奇的事情正在发生。
09:31
an amazing thing happens.
210
559051
1642
09:33
When they get out on the jobsite
and they start working together,
and they start working together,
211
561253
3346
当他们去到工作地点，
开始一同工作，
开始一同工作，
你会看到奇迹发生。
09:36
you start seeing amazing things happen.
212
564623
1897
他们看到了团结合作的力量，
他们知道了自己可以做出改变。
他们知道了自己可以做出改变。
09:38
They see teamwork; they see
the fact that they can make a difference.
the fact that they can make a difference.
213
566544
3303
一天将尽，
当他们坐上旧道奇卡车回到圣马丁时，
09:41
And at the end of the day,
214
569871
1241
09:43
when they get back to St. Martin's
in that old Dodge van,
in that old Dodge van,
215
571136
2696
他们更可能报名接受所需要的服务——
09:45
they're much more likely to sign up
for whatever services they need --
for whatever services they need --
216
573856
3328

So far with our pilot program,
218
579951

迄今为止，我们的试点项目
已经提供了大约1700天的一日工作。
09:54
we've offered
about 1,700 days of day work.
about 1,700 days of day work.

and they've been housed.
223
594764
1159
通过“有更好的方法”项目，
10:07
And over 150 people have been connected

595947
2159
已有超过150人
10:10
to mental health substance abuse services
225
598130

接受了精神健康和药物滥用服务。
10:12
through There's a Better Way.
226
600972
1696
这是两周前
10:14
This is me just two weeks ago,
227
602692
2637
10:18
at St. Martin's,
228
606938
1168
我在圣马丁
做定期调查，
10:20
doing our point-in-time survey
229
608130
1452
我们每两年做一次。
10:21
that we do every two years.
230
609606
1377
10:23
I'm interviewing a gentleman
who's homeless, like we do,
who's homeless, like we do,
231
611549
3413
我照例在采访一位无家可归的男子。
收集他的信息，了解他的籍贯，
10:26
getting his information,
figuring out where he's from,
figuring out where he's from,
232
614986
2744
他如何到了这里，
10:29
how he got there,
233
617754
1728
我们能做什么来帮助他。
10:31
what we can do to help him.
234
619506
1603
你会发现他正拿着
与2015年那个人同样的牌子，
与2015年那个人同样的牌子，
10:33
And you notice he's holding the same sign
that the guy was holding in 2015,
that the guy was holding in 2015,
235
621133
3971
也就是我今天进场时
拿着的那句标语。
拿着的那句标语。
10:37
same sign I walked out with here today.
236
625128
2103
10:40
So you have to ask yourself:
Is it really making a difference?
Is it really making a difference?
237
628167
2972
因此你禁不住会好奇：
这真的有用吗？
这真的有用吗？
它绝对有用。
10:43
Absolutely it's making a difference.

综合“阿尔伯克基回家”项目

Since I took over as mayor,
246

根据住房与城市发展部门的定义，
11:09
we've gotten to functional zero,
250
657469

我们已经达到了“功能零点”。
这就意味，通过有目的

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard J. Berry - Mayor of AlbuquerqueRichard J. Berry is the mayor of Albuquerque -- the 32nd largest city in America and the largest city in New Mexico.
Why you should listen
Richard J. Berry was elected mayor of Albuquerque in 2009. Prior to serving as mayor, Berry was elected twice as a State Representative to the New Mexico State Legislature, and he owned a successful Albuquerque construction company for decades that conducted business throughout the Southwest United States.
On his watch, Albuquerque was ranked second Best Run City in the nation with a population of over 500,000. Berry has reduced the size of city government and held budget growth to below inflation each year -- all while maintaining a high level of service to taxpayers and city residents. Also under the his leadership, Albuquerque was recently named as the 6th most technologically advanced city in America.
Berry was recently recognized as one of the Most Inspirational People in America by the Washington Post, largely due to the success of a program called "There's a Better Way," which takes a new approach to addressing panhandling by providing the homeless with opportunities to work for the City and connect them to resources and help.
Berry has been married to his wife, Maria, for 26 years and they have one son, Jacob, who serves in the Army Corps of Cadets while studying at Texas A&M University.
