Remember when bob O'Connor had a drug house torn down the next day after he found out about it. This city has lost its balls.

Drug dealers don’t want to work for chump change and with Boomers taking all the jobs, they need to make a living too.

ban the guns...all guns

tax the middle class....give no sensible person a reason to reside in the city limits

be kind to the drug users living downtown. the lady in the prim business outfit will be just fine, despite her stilletto poking through a mound of feces and some smelly dude making lewd comments to her.

If it’s not cleaned up by the time I get back and have time from being waited on hand and foot I’ll check it out…and I’m sure you’ll take your own advice.

They give them needles, then are surprised by the most obvious unintended consequence. Dat's the city.

Do you know why needles are given? Most of these derelicts are not from the city. These folk are from any and everywhere.

I’m not sure why this is news. The area has been a homeless encampment since at least the 80s. It’s has been bulldozed multiple times over the last few decades. Short memory or what?

The drug epidemic is nationwide and affecting rural communities as well as cities. The drugs need to be prevented from infiltrating, until then all of the US is going to be experiencing this. It's a crisis and trying to put the blame on needle programs is just ignorance. I remember staying in CA over 20 years ago and seeing the sharps boxes in the rest rooms everywhere, we are not alone in this.
