    STOP giving them money. STOP giving them food. DON'T encourage them. DON'T give them free sh*t. Make them start begging for work.

    The city shut the camp down, but continues to use that spot as a pick up spot.
    Nah that makes sense.

    Hey that's DJ Baldonado!
    So he says no matter what the city does or has done, the homeless problem simply isn't going away, so he and many others have had to simply get used to it and work around it.
    Unless our city and taxes house these individuals somehow, they will continue to be homeless on our streets. Especially if our city continues to push them out of already dilapidated parks such as Coronado Park or even Phil Chacon Park in the War Zone aka International District. At least they had a place to go and weren't forced out onto the streets to try to find somewhere else to go.
    I've never been to Coronado Park and don't know anyone here from Albuquerque who says, "Hey, let's go hang out at Coronado Park today!" Maybe a few skateboarders once skated there, but it's not the best skatepark either. And they recently shut down and started construction at Phil Chacon Park so it's fenced off now. But construction halted months ago so now no one has access to the park and it's a complete eyesore the way the city has left it. They made it look worse than it was.
    The spot right at the underpass at 1st St. has no use and simply takes up wasted space. Why not allow the homeless to gather there since that's where they already are? Simply open up a small portion of the fencing as a way in and out so police can lock it down if the situation calls for it due to violent crimes within their own Tent City. What else is that spot good for besides a waste of space?
    Even if we tried to house them, most of them want to be and like being on the streets with others in their similar situation. It's sad and will take a lot of time, energy, and work to try to correct this issue permanently.

    GREATLY expand addiction treatment, mental health, and temporary shelter programs for them! They need treatment. Once there is enough program capacity for all the homeless rather than a few at a time currently, then I believe the city is legally allowed to enforce the no camping no camping and panhandling rules since there is the capacity is there to support them. Homelessness would be significantly reduced!

    I walked by here many times going to the Rock at noonday, they should let the homeless have an area, as long as they stay there, fair deal! My heart goes out to them, I'm sure I know a few of them, they made the choice, let them have the pigeon filled underpass, as long as they don't cross that line leave'em.

    I believe the correct term is “unhoused”. Not homeless. They have rights, too. Treat them with respect. All drug use is medicinal. I hope to bake sourdough focaccia for the unhoused. I will bring it to here. Thanks.

      Weird, I ride the bus all the time. Haven’t seen open drug use. Even if I did, I wouldn’t assume to know what they’re using, or what conditions they’re medicating for. I’m not a doctor.
      I wouldn’t give you free sourdough focaccia if you paid for it. You’re the problem, not the people trying to survive you. Stop victim blaming.
      American capitalism is a remnant of an economy based on slavery. AI is taking the slave jobs. Universal healthcare and universal basic income are the only sustainable future for humanity in USA. Have a great day, please read this while driving fast.

      @@floki-man I have read many posts on nextdoor and other sites about fentanyl addicts smoking fentanyl in buses. However, I read they started kicking them out, and even calling APD, so they sort of stabilized it. I don't ride bus, but I commute daily on Central, and almost every bus stop is full of addicts smoking fentanyl day and night. I bet they still try smoking it in buses along Central but could be wrong.
