Those who don’t live in California perhaps don’t understand what comes with people living on the streets.
They block sidewalks with trash, needles and human
waste so that it is unsafe to walk. And forget about using public parks or bike paths. A neighbor recently needed to change her baby in a library restroom and the baby accidentally touched foil containing drugs and had to be rushed to the ER.
Untreated sewage is in the streets and goes untreated to the ocean.
Theft is increasing from stores, cars and homes.
Those crazed out on drugs attack people verbally and throw things and hit motorists.
Downtown there are so many rats in the garbage that typhus is spreading. Police have contracted typhoid fever in areas with large encampments.
And we are just one windy day away from another wildfire from illegal campfires.
This is the number 1 issue in my area . People are angry at the city and state so called leaders.
Unsightly is not the issue.
