Phoenix to crack down on homeless encampments, spend $500K on services

Guess, that they thought that a community park would improve the neighborhood but almost immediately it was closed from the garbage, needles and feces.

I am surprised that the neighborhood park had problems in the summer as most of the Phoenix homeless sleep and ride the trains all day and night.

I have to say that even as a 6 foot tall guy, I am afraid of riding the light-rail here in Phoenix because it isn't the homelessness but the filth and people who are drug and high as a kite on illicit drugs.

Not that I expect you to reply, even in your own Threads, since it is not your "style". But I will remind the faithful that Arizona is a RED State, so shouldn't they have the answer to such a simple issue?

Leaving the mentally ill to "fend for themselves" has consequences.

The mayor of Phoenix is a liberal Democrat though.

Amazing, how suburbs such as Scottsdale, Gilbert and Fountain Hills keep their fantastic parks open with out the issues that Phoenix has.

For example, in the Republican suburb of Gilbert they have beautifully manicured parks that are litter free with none of the negative elements subjecting the town's residents to stresses that would make them uncomfortable.

Sadly, Phoenix they celebrate the opening of a park but it was soon closed because it was overwhelmed with fecal matter and heroin needles.

Phoenix has a long history of celebration openings and than it goes downhill almost immediately. Every time they extend the light-rail, the adjacent neighborhood becomes a cesspool of filth almost immediately.

I am sure when they opened up the light-rail they didn't envision it becoming a filthy and smelly experience with trains reeking of illegal drugs and people high as a kite.

In those areas, the social dysfunction is hidden.

It is posters like you that ruin any debate or discussion of a problem some areas are dealing with.Your only answer is it's a red state is another example of your low IQ and inability to discuss issues without attacking others. who are you to attack another poster of what you do ourself?

Sorry, but I am doing nothing but reminding the OP that just loves to ramble on about Blue States and Cities (which all major cities are) that AZ, where he lives, is a RED state, and as such should have resolved the issue if they actually have a resolution. That seems to have triggered you, take a few deep breaths next time. As for IQ's, it seems to be important to you, I can assure you that mine has tested far higher than yours. Now run along, Skippy.
