Building a Central <br />OC homeless shelter in Santa Ana is counter productive to our city. Instead focus on making sure our students <br />and community are safe by keeping the homeless away from our community. Santa Ana has enough to worry <br />about in regards to gangs, education, and overpopulated homes. It seemed like we were making some progress <br />in these areas until the homeless situation got out of hand. <br />The solution should be to move this population away from our city. I no longer feel safe walking or even <br />driving in my beloved city that has been home to me all of my life. I've had homeless men approach me at red <br />lights by knocking at my car windows asking for money and seen another homeless man try to harass students <br />walking home from school. And that was just this month. <br />It's sad, but I do have a feeling that it will take a homeless person murdering an innocent child some day in the <br />future for the city and county to step up their game. Get tough and get these people out of our community before <br />a horrible tragedy happens ! Find enough resources to help those who genuinely want the help and make it <br />unwelcome for the rest so that they will leave our beautiful city. Send these people back to the states and cities <br />that they come from. <br />- A Concerned Resident in Pico- Lowell <br />0 <br />
