August 17, 2016 <br /> Page 2 <br /> I am not heartless or unsympathetic to the plight of the homeless but what is going on in Santa Ana is <br /> truly unfair to the law abiding,tax paying and hard working honest and upstanding citizens of Santa <br /> Ana. The homeless refuse to follow the laws or the instructions of the police so my sympathy is <br /> diminishing and my fear of living here is growing daily. The homeless will actually follow you and <br /> threaten you. <br /> No other city seems to have the level of free services that are being distributed from our public <br /> buildings. If the City of Santa Ana continues to be the primary distribution center for services and goods <br /> to the homeless,we are going to continue to be GROUND ZERO for all the crime, problems and costs <br /> associated with homelessness. This is not right. Our representatives should do not have the right to allow <br /> this to happen by making our public facilities open to private charities without a mechanism in place to <br /> stop what is happening in Santa Ana. Our representatives have a responsibility to do everything within <br /> their power to protect us and to put policies and procedures in place that stop this. <br /> If these charities want to provide services to the homeless, ask them to do it from their offices,their <br /> buildings,their churches so they can see first hand what happens when the homeless are invited and <br /> encouraged to come to their businesses and homes. <br /> This approach to helping the homeless,while the effort is admirable, is causing a centralized location for <br /> the homeless without any protection for the citizens who live here. Please represent the law abiding <br /> citizens and business owners here in Santa Ma. If something is not done,you will see businesses and <br /> citizens leave Santa Ma for Cities that make the safety of law abiding citizens their top concern. <br /> A Concerned Citizen of Santa Ana who is seriously considering relocation <br />
