"The biggest issue right now for most is probably the homeless, because <br />they are the most visible sign of 'blight'. The homeless also create chaos <br />and whatnot for businesses and individuals, and the city services/staff. <br />Small, semi -permanent emergency facilities at key points in the city would <br />greatly assist the homeless as well as everyone else. Not so much a place <br />to sleep as a place to shower, clean up, use the facilities (since most <br />businesses won't allow them to). Possibly even small food banks or'take- <br />out' counters. And this last part is going to sound a bit crazy, but for the <br />truly mentally ill, a 'park' that is situated for their illness, in which they <br />cannot move past the park boundaries, but can live as they please, while <br />remaining somewhat safe and away from common people (who ignore <br />them at best anyway). This *has* to be a better solution than letting them <br />run amok and dealing with every situation across the city, as opposed to it <br />being in a centralized park, with all that they would need, including <br />medical services. When the Great Recession hit, many people like my <br />mom were 'shaken out' of the economy like fleas- and if you didn't have <br />the technical chops to survive in what became a very intense <br />employment context, they ended up on the streets- having lived in OC <br />since 1981, I'd never in my life seen so many 40+ (and heartbreakingly, <br />even older) aged people on the streets. If it wasn't for me, my mom would <br />have been one of those people, by virtue of economic factors and her <br />own. Small assistance would help some of these folks. <br />86. Library services need to be increased <br />87. Per Safe Mobility Santa Ana report: 'Traffic signals are not preventing <br />pedestrian and bicycle involved collisions at our larger intersections. More <br />than 1 /3 of all collisions occur at traffic signals despite only 9% of the city's <br />intersections being signalized." Fix this problem to encourage affordable <br />transportation (the 2nd largest household expenditure after rent or <br />mortgage payment). <br />88. "5yr strategic plan and the sunshine ordinance." <br />89. Housing Assistance <br />90. Get on the street and see all the people in the street asking for money <br />with a cardboard sign and sleeping in a cardboard house. They need <br />help <br />91. More park space and community enrichment programs <br />92. more parks <br />93. We need book mobiles to fill in the gaps for the lack of libraries in our city. <br />94. Emphasizing safer, more environmentally friendly forms of transportation <br />lie not cars).
