The sad thing is street homeless encampments are open drugs markets brewing all sorts of crimes. Many will die from fentanyl overdose. Surrounding neighborhoods around this designated site will see a huge increase in crime, trash, needles, and homeless will be breaking into unoccupied houses to turn them into drug dens. It's happening all over the international district, and it's very ugly.
Once i asked a representative of the Headed Home project, an APD program, " how long has it been implemented?" She answered, "9 months." Then I asked, "How much money has it used?" She answered, "$9, million." I furthered asked, "How many people has it housed?" Her answer, "9."
What is increasingly the norm, such as what I observed while at a gas station on the westside is the homeless are now acting b in a way that is just brazen and, quite frankly, makes it hard for anyone to sympathize with their plight. For example, 15 to 20 individuals in a group openly smoking fentanyl in front of Del Taco. With the mayor's statement about APD will not respond to complaints as a template most feel the City has now just abdicated it's responsibility to area businesses. The sense of entitlement is outrageous, openly consuming narcotics in public, leaving behind a trail of trash reminescent of a landfill that borders on the comical. Residents regularly catching them defecating in yards and when asked to leave they become aggressive. Let's face it, with a police force who are now so timid it takes 25 officers and a major roadway closure to handle a naked man pouring milk on himself next to his tent. This is what defund the police, no arrest policies, hope villages get us. Business owners closing their doors and moving to a different city - because of a lack of community and municipal support. This city has turned into a joke.
I’m glad you guys are willing to listen. I will fix this in 90 -120 days. You tourist money then let’s get our city healthy and stop making excuses. They government aid from the feds already lined the same 30 people’s pockets. So just stop them from being so greedy and I guarantee that Albuquerque will get recognition for solutions. Not problems. And I don’t want credit at all just want to get it done. The drug market will always be around but that’s an easy fix too. Just be looking to help not hurt the people
This attorney lady that doesn't understand that they're already in a camp just putting them somewhere doesn't mean that it's an internment camp. She has a brain that will argue against anything
Thank you Laura Sanchez for bringing up the Japanese internment camps. I saw this and I to have a distain for the word encampments, being that it implies forced “rehoming”
Half the homeless issue. Will be assisted. By a lain parking lot. Where you wont tow the car. For expired tags. Bottom line Gene. Rain, ruins everything. Security. At night. Minivans instead of tents. My Ptsd cruiser. Still saving the way. But permits need to be available. And realistic. Realistic. Realistic. Etc. Etc. Etc.
