I've lived my entire life in the city of Santa Ana. In the recent years, the amount of unhoused <br />individuals has increased. Along with that, the amount of open drug users have taken over the city. It is <br />unbelievable how far things have gotten out of control. My children are seeing this in their community as <br />something that is now normal. Is this the future that we want for our kids? Do you want them to believe that is <br />acceptable and a proper way to live? I have seen people in the street with their paraphernalia and drugs out in <br />the open. If there are no consequences, this will continue to escalate. If children who walk those sidewalks as <br />they walk to school pick something up out of curiosity, they can put themselves in danger. It's time to clean up <br />our city. Santa Ana is our home! Would you allow open drug use in your home with your children and family? <br />Probably not, so why are our children exposed to the horrors of drug use. This is a macro problem. Let's start at <br />the top to get this resolved! <br />
