We bought it in <br />2007, stayed current on our mortgage payments through the financial crisis, and finally we have some equity. We are <br />very fortunate. We are also concerned. <br />For well over the past decade, we've fought to keep our neighborhood free of occupied RVs. We understand that these <br />many of these folks are just trying to get by, but they are monopolizing parking spaces in residential neighborhoods. In <br />the past, we've used Sec. 10-89 to ask police to make them leave our neighborhood so residents can park their cars, <br />Now the police have begun pushing back and saying that they are free to camp in our neighborhoods as long as they <br />move every 72 hours. That is not what the law says. <br />I understand that 10-89 is flawed and difficult to enforce. However, I also know it's been the law since 1952. Why would <br />we stop enforcing it in the middle of a massive homelessness crisis? Who made this decision? We need clarity and <br />accountability on this decision so we can decide whom to support and whom to oppose in 2020. 1 sincerely hope that <br />the person behind the decision to stop enforcing 10-89 lives in Santa Ana in an ungated community. <br />For the time being, please enforce county law Sec. 6-4-606. 1 don't think that is an unreasonable request. Please let me <br />know if I'm mistaken. We love Santa Ana, and we don't want to sell our home and move to South County <br />Sincerely, <br />David Brockmeier & Lucila Gonzalez <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
