Clairemont braces for homeless housing
Looks like Jason is a strapping young man in his 20's that should have a job. Instead he lives like a rodent enjoing our fine weather while making my neighborhood look like shit. I'm a 51 year old Gulf War vet that gets up every morning at 4:15 AM to go to my job. When I come home and go to enjoy the wonderful park in Old Town it is full of drug crazed transients having a "yard sale" or sleeping or eating out of trash cans. Where are my rights to have a nice neighbhood to live in since I pay rent and taxes? The solution is simple. DON'T GIVE THESE RATS ANY MONEY! SD is so nervous about a potential lawsuit by infringing on their civil liberties that they are worthless. Something has to give. I have transients in my neighborhood that have been sleeping in the same spot for over a year right in our most popular tourist areas. The police tell them to move on and they are back in 5 minutes. It looks like crap. What happened to the law against urban camping and encroachment? Round these losers up and make a central camp at Brown Field as was previously proposed where they can get their act together! How about a mental health hospital for the deranged which I see constantly thanks to the County Mental Health office next to I-5 and their revolving door policy? We got rid almost all State Hospitals thanks to Proposition 13. Way to go! Make a beer tax to fund this camp or do something different. Are we waiting for the bubonic plague or typhoid to arrive? I dare The Reader to post this! John Burgess Old Town Resident— April 6, 2018 6:51 p.m.
Musicians, hippies, and travelers in Ocean Beach
That's great that the travelers are completely oblivious to the needs of their child and Jorge gets a taxpayer funded EBT card so he can pursue his dream of smoking pot everyday. When are we going to give the police the power to take back the community?— December 10, 2016 12:21 p.m.
