I'm homeless 10 yrs, this campground of theirs will be disaster. Theres too many rules the tents are too small theres dogs involved, the sun is. Sob in San Diego, its on cement oven baking pavement. Unbelievably horribly thought out. The tents aren't even black out tents to keep light out. I'm in campgrounds 50 nights a year, the sites are 200 feet apart with trees bathrooms showers ...and...people are still fighting constantly police are around everyday for disputes...and nobody is homeless its just people camping. A shed from home depot would been 1000 times better with a solar panel and a fan to start with
This is a joke the state is making money out of it spent nearly 2 billion dollars and homelessness is rampart l. Texas only spent 19 million and is solving a lot of it. These addicted bums don’t care about anything.

Wow - they temporarily tried this tent city crapola at the City's 19th and B compound back in 2018 when we lived and invested 200K in our Golden Hill bungalow right off Broadway. All of a sudden, we had homeless druggers wandering our streets and relieving themselves everywhere! At that time, the City put out an RFP on the street to locate a permanent tent city at the 19th and B site and with one sentence in said RFP about respondents submitting a feasibility study (FS) - with no typical and necessary FS parameters specified. As a consultant and counsel, I nailed them to the wall, pointed out the RFP was flawed, told them that putting any such homeless mitigation center in any one San Diego hood would unfairly and disproportionately burden the hood and affect property values, threatened to sue the City if they didn't pull said RFP, and told them the only place the should locate such a camp is down on City property in the industrial area. And that's exactly what they did - back then! Fast-forward to now and the very corrupt City unilaterally bans homeless street camping but crammed this tent city right back into San Diego's most desirable urban hood! So glad we made big bank on our restored bungalow and property and got the holy hell outta there back in 2020! I feel bad that the rights of Golden Hill property owners have again been trampled on by Gloryhole and his pack of municipal criminals for propping up a never-ending supply of drug-ridden dregs who won't work, won't go into drug treatment as they should be forced to do, who want to live free doing their drugs and commiting ongoing crime to support their $100/day habits, and who will then forever burden the taxpayers.

High fences, barbed wire on top. All set. Just get them in there and say nobody leaves until they pass a couple drug tests. Sure, it'll suck to be them for a while but when they are clean you know they CHOSE to go back to drugs so don't owe them anything at that point.

Wow this is amazing, my father created this for me, his daughter . He wanted it to be called The Village. We were homeless for a year, because of a financial crisis, after the Path Shelter threw us out illegally bc they couldn't help a a single father with an adult daughter(after they said that they could help us before we even agreeed to go there). So while we were homeless a developer Ex CEO of PATH (didn't know at the time) came to tell us that we would have to leave his property soon for some construction (our encampment was across from the shelter)My father found out that the ex ceo was the owner of all the area and asked if he can move our whole encampment into his parking lot and run it , my dad is a USMC Veteran btw(my dad drew up the proposal and showed it to the CEO explaining how this Village would be ran) in return he went to the city and ran my fathers whole idea to them. City District 13 when Mitch O Farrell was in office at the time. They loved the idea and started the very 1st pilot safe sleep right across the PATH shelter in Los Angeles and told my father that he has a seat on the board and that he will be compensated for this. Instead of letting us move into the lot like everyone else they offered my father a single home to live in he rejected it but said it was up to me. I said yes. Well I am still in my home 4 years later, they hired my father as the homeless liaison and property maintenance. November 2022. They decided to fire my father, never pay us, and start a fraudulent notice to vacate that has not been followed up on. Why ? One, my father started asking for his money. Two, they started construction over here where the first safe sleep was ran and they have major groundwater problems that they decided to continue building on. My father reported the water rising to the ex ceo he came back and told us that he has to get us away from the engineer of this project. Back to right now 2023. My father and I been harassed, home threatened, told that we getting the f outta here by a construction company that was hired to do what my father was hired to do. And all of this for what ?? We still have no clue what happened why we are being treated this way.. My father created Safe Sleep and reported the groundwater rising on the construction site... my question to all the reporters. Do you know who developed SafeSleep out here in California, does anybody know? My father and I are still sitting here waiting for them to keep their word and so far they just keep piling dirt around us hiding us from everyone.. We are in need of Help ..
If there one open tent places near my work, I going to go to that ⛺️ tent but where do I shower and clean my clothes. Nevermind I don't even bother to brush my teeth and tend to wear the same outfits for month anyway.
Dude, there’s 10k plus bums out there addicted to fentanyl and the number grows everyday. This is all just optics. It’s a bandaid on a severed limb. This “program” will just turn into another handout and encourage more homelessness. The situation is already out of control lol. It’s a joke.
Over 3k homeless in Downtown SD. The public is sick n tired of the homeless. It's time for the other cities in San Diego County to contribute their 'fair share with homelessness'.
Well if the City (or state) would quit handouts for vagrants, other states might not ship their homeless to Cali. Every vagrant I talk to is from somewhere else.
@@xanderLudahl why not get American 2nd amendment people to shoot them up instead of schools, then? It's your gross country's specialty: destroying the vulnerable. Oh wait! How about smallpox in blankets again?
Only 136 tents available, how is this going to help the thousands of homeless on the streets? Create beds before you start making it illegal to be homeless. This only creates more problems.
The city spends 20k per homeless person, and this is the best they can do? Few homeless people will go out of their way for that. The city/state needs affordable housing so that people dont become homeless a few weeks after losing their jobs. Once people go homeless, it is very hard to help them.
@@GeorgeSkinner-eq1jdthats great, but unfortunately these Tent cities negatively affects everything around them. Do you think nearby businesses want these tent cities on their streets?
@@tqlla the tents are a huge mistake. Affordable housing doesn’t fix anything either. Just look at the ghettos and all the government help available.

@@tqlla All the more reason for the homeless to get their shit together and stop expecting handouts to take care of them.

Besides, losing one job doesn't mean you can't find another and keep your home. Choices exist.
@@nobodyspecial4702 People who have been homeless for a decent amount of time are not going to just "Get their S together" all of a sudden.

Next step: rent controoool. We need it so bad. So, so bad. I pray that something is done about these crazy rent prices.

This is a good temporary situation. As long as the security and maintenance is well paid enough to keep all those people secure and safe, it should work really well. If those two aspects fail though, the whole foundation will fall apart, so let's hope for the best. Let's see if they'll take this situation seriously enough to make it work long term, and if so, a lot of problems will be solved for sure.
These tents can easily be shredded. Why don’t then give them at least a simple shed to sleep in? It is less costly and dignifiable and more durable and SAFER!
Great solution lol. How about combating unaffordable rent cost? Maybe invest some money in public housing, treatment centers, mental healthcare facilities and public work programs?

100%!! The mayors have had plenty of opportunity to move in concert w the city to avoid a huge migration. I’m sure they must be thinking with their campaigns in mind. Waiting to see how it plays out. That’s a huge gamble IMO.
IF people thought about their futures they wouldn't have this problem. I lived in SD for years. When I got laid off, me and my wife took advantage of the opportunity to move to another state with a lower cost of living because I didn't have my high income job holding me there anymore. We didn't spend every penny we made so when we needed it, we had the money available to deal with shortages instead of buying a shiny new car every year and insisting that we needed an ocean view apartment.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Still people in better economic straights in other states when people fall into a pit they can still get back up it's the cost of living here that's the outlier.

Once again the only way this will make any difference is of there's a law enforcement presence just like anywhere else. Otherwise, you can bet gangs will be there in an instant. There should be a law enforcement officer everywhere in America. No exceptions.
Quick somebody take a pic while its clean and new so we can revisit in 1 year and see how the sidewalk pooping dopers and thieves have absolutely destroyed it..good times
I think it is bizarre that they have tents that can be easily damaged instead of having some basic sheds made out of solid materials that cannot be damaged and can last.
30k per tent and associated services. If they went with tiny wooden shelters they'd be looking at 100k each easy. For a studio apartment, that's 750k each. Sorry, but San Diego isn't winning any awards for intelligent use of funds. By the way, these are all projects San Diego approved and paid for. You wonder how you spend 3 billion dollars and still have homeless people, this is how you do it.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Actually a lot of sheds are cheaper than tents and with a lock, they provide security for belongings and from other mentally ill people.
@@jilpok1074 Only one problem with that. If you put up aluminum sheds and have people stay in them, they die. Sheds trap heat, tents allow it to disperse. As much as I don't have anything against locking people in sheds and letting them cook, you have to consider long term. You can only use the "we're having a bbq" excuse just so many times before neighbors ask why they weren't invited and then the do-gooders find out and create such a public outcry.
@@nobodyspecial4702 ??? You think the only option is to use an aluminum shed? If it’s hot out, then there is sun and a solar powered fan can be put in the shed. Either way a shed can have windows and airflow just like a tent does.
@@jilpok1074 So now it's not "basic sheds" anymore. They should add in solar panels and fans? Why not go all a/c instead? In fact, let's do it even better but make them fully functioning homes with indoor plumbing, electric, stoves and everything. It's not like the tents haven't worked out at 30k per tent when you add in the land, the security, the on site amenities, etc. Let's just push that up to 100k per bed by building solid habitation, then while we're at it, might as well spend 750k per unit and build them studio apartments. And yes, San Diego approved 31 million dollars to build 41 studio apartments for the homeless. Already the politicians are padding pockets by funding so many homeless advocacy groups that if they just gave each homeless person cash to buy a brand new house it would be cheaper than the programs they are funding on a yearly basis.
If you're on the street a week after losing your job that is on you... I bet they were trying to live way above their means and had absolutely no savings but massive debt from using their credit cards.
good luck with that if they ran out of place to unhouse the homeless the homeless is gonna start camping on city streets again and u know that’s gonna happen anytime soon
Looks like this is on the taxpayers dime, all those tents, security etc. They will have to have rules on curfews, drinking, drugs, smoking,, noise etc. And that's the problem with most homeless people, they don't want to go by any rules. That's why many of them don't go to homeless shelters, too many rules.
Yeah some of these homeless dont like it because of rules by the people, that why several rather stay were they at getting high drinking and sleeping on rough spot where nobody government tells them what to and are eventually going to be rob or mugged of there belongings will be gone. It's why in life everyone of have to work really hard with a good job so we can our freedom to be owned by us with a home a car and etc living with someone may be annoying with rules, I also hate living with rules but it's just life is that way and freedom is not free . Only accomplish with hard work

Do what young/broke people have been doing forever in this town, get some roommates! If you're so broke that you don't even own a hooptie, why would you possibly be living in San Diego, the most unaffordable city in the country?
@@norwegianblue2017 What if you have a family, and lose your job? A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck, which means they are not far from homelessness.
A place of their own..... what we all want.
The volcano on Hawaii!
Move them all in the middle of the desert
@@uselesscommenters2707 hey, ur not me, that's one of my comments I always say.
Great minds I guess.
400 tents? There are over 10k homeless people across the county and growing everyday. This is like putting a Bandaid over a sucking chest wound. lol. What a joke.
It would be better to find some hanging trees for the dealers.
I love this idea how bout camps out in the desert theres plenty open space the homeless could get bussed out to the camps
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
People and their PETS? LMFAO!
Homeless people in San Diego are given free pets care. Part of the many services that exist to ensure they have no desire to get off the street.
Bill wells the El Cajon mayor needs to follow suit or the homeless will just transplant in his city
100%!! The mayors have had plenty of opportunity to move in concert w the city to avoid a huge migration. I’m sure they must be thinking with their campaigns in mind. Waiting to see how it plays out. That’s a huge gamble IMO.
IF they would've put up more housing in the first place before things got this bad we wouldn't have a problem this scale.
IF people thought about their futures they wouldn't have this problem. I lived in SD for years. When I got laid off, me and my wife took advantage of the opportunity to move to another state with a lower cost of living because I didn't have my high income job holding me there anymore. We didn't spend every penny we made so when we needed it, we had the money available to deal with shortages instead of buying a shiny new car every year and insisting that we needed an ocean view apartment.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Still people in better economic straights in other states when people fall into a pit they can still get back up it's the cost of living here that's the outlier.
Thank you Jesus.I am fortunate enough to earn $230,000 every 4 weeks, with this abundance of wealth I am able to testify that My life has totally changed and also support Gods work and the church.
I've earned over 300k investing in a digital market with the guidance of Mrs Angelia Marie Brown services...
Wow, I'm surprised you mentioned and recommended Mrs Angelia Marie Brown. Well I don't have much to say about her but I'll advice newbie to place their trade under her services.
Who's this professional everyone is talking about,I think I'm interested how can I get in touch with Mrs Angelia Maria brown
I will leave her info below this comment

Once again the only way this will make any difference is of there's a law enforcement presence just like anywhere else. Otherwise, you can bet gangs will be there in an instant. There should be a law enforcement officer everywhere in America. No exceptions.
Sounds like you want a police state...that was tried before...
@@kenc2257 It worked famously. Very little non-state sanctioned crime.
Quick somebody take a pic while its clean and new so we can revisit in 1 year and see how the sidewalk pooping dopers and thieves have absolutely destroyed it..good times
Facilitated public vagrancy.
Someone's making a lot of money out of all of this.
Good start take notice Gavin Newsom
The phony reporter bit and voice is so cringe!
she's gorgeous tho
I think it is bizarre that they have tents that can be easily damaged instead of having some basic sheds made out of solid materials that cannot be damaged and can last.
30k per tent and associated services. If they went with tiny wooden shelters they'd be looking at 100k each easy. For a studio apartment, that's 750k each. Sorry, but San Diego isn't winning any awards for intelligent use of funds. By the way, these are all projects San Diego approved and paid for. You wonder how you spend 3 billion dollars and still have homeless people, this is how you do it.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Actually a lot of sheds are cheaper than tents and with a lock, they provide security for belongings and from other mentally ill people.
@@jilpok1074 Only one problem with that. If you put up aluminum sheds and have people stay in them, they die. Sheds trap heat, tents allow it to disperse. As much as I don't have anything against locking people in sheds and letting them cook, you have to consider long term. You can only use the "we're having a bbq" excuse just so many times before neighbors ask why they weren't invited and then the do-gooders find out and create such a public outcry.
@@nobodyspecial4702 ??? You think the only option is to use an aluminum shed? If it’s hot out, then there is sun and a solar powered fan can be put in the shed. Either way a shed can have windows and airflow just like a tent does.
@@jilpok1074 So now it's not "basic sheds" anymore. They should add in solar panels and fans? Why not go all a/c instead? In fact, let's do it even better but make them fully functioning homes with indoor plumbing, electric, stoves and everything.
It's not like the tents haven't worked out at 30k per tent when you add in the land, the security, the on site amenities, etc. Let's just push that up to 100k per bed by building solid habitation, then while we're at it, might as well spend 750k per unit and build them studio apartments. And yes, San Diego approved 31 million dollars to build 41 studio apartments for the homeless. Already the politicians are padding pockets by funding so many homeless advocacy groups that if they just gave each homeless person cash to buy a brand new house it would be cheaper than the programs they are funding on a yearly basis.
If you're on the street a week after losing your job that is on you... I bet they were trying to live way above their means and had absolutely no savings but massive debt from using their credit cards.
Karma to you.
Just a huge stupid mistake.
“Safe”
IN GOLDEN HILLS!!!!
Oh hell no…..talk about fucking uo an area. My kids go to AEA, we will have homeless ppl around the school now. Horrible job SD!!!
lol what could go wrong??
Worst mayor Ever
Finally a step in the right direction
Requesting millions for a tent on the concrete.
good luck with that if they ran out of place to unhouse the homeless the homeless is gonna start camping on city streets again and u know that’s gonna happen anytime soon
😂how Embarrassing.
Is there a "Quiet" Section for those that dont want to hear talking and arguments all day and night.
Yez, eet ees behind ze showerz.
Once again, GIVING does nothing
Looks like this is on the taxpayers dime, all those tents, security etc. They will have to have rules on curfews, drinking, drugs, smoking,, noise etc. And that's the problem with most homeless people, they don't want to go by any rules. That's why many of them don't go to homeless shelters, too many rules.
All those rules are reasonable and should be followed. It's ridiculous how they keep getting babied
Yeah some of these homeless dont like it because of rules by the people, that why several rather stay were they at getting high drinking and sleeping on rough spot where nobody government tells them what to and are eventually going to be rob or mugged of there belongings will be gone. It's why in life everyone of have to work really hard with a good job so we can our freedom to be owned by us with a home a car and etc living with someone may be annoying with rules, I also hate living with rules but it's just life is that way and freedom is not free . Only accomplish with hard work
