> > 2 With all the wars Rome could not afford to keep up the roads > 8 over population caused a lot of houses to be abandoned because disease spread so fast. >> = Solutions for the emperor = >> = 1. People have been stealing parts of buildings and then add the parts to other buildings. Some parts they sell. To prevent this they should take a few 100 soldiers and make a police force. This would help prevent theft. You would not need to raise taxes because the solders are already being paid. It’s like modern police squads dedicated to a special type of crime. There just solders dedicated to theft in cities. = >> = Since they would not have to pay for the slave soldiers they could spend more money to fix their roads and buildings or could lower taxes so that people could have more money. With more money people could build houses made out of better materials that do not decay as fast. = >> = 2. A cause of decay in Rome was buildings being abandoned. Since people were kicked out of their homes because of unemployment. Since all the slaves were taking jobs they should make the male slaves join the army and then the Government can give Soldiers slave jobs. People could than afford to live and maintain their homes. = >> = This is like job agencies that help unemployed people find jobs. Without jobs people become homeless. I place like over the Rhine this has had a big increase in decay. = >> = 3. because of the price of health care to go up people can’t afforded good insurance so they have to spend more money if they get sick. People can’t afforded to maintain there homes in places like over the Rhine people have to spend more money on health insurance so they can’t get cleaning supplies. To fix this doctors have been trying to find cures for diseases =
