Senator, Director <br /> Homeless Invasion and Gang Intimidation; <br /> Community Health & Safety Concerns <br /> California has spent$24 BILLION dollars on homelessness since 2019, without success. <br /> When the City of Garden Grove passed ordinances in late 2024 outlawing camping,those <br /> persons were 'displaced'to Santa Ana. Chiefly being driven by the carload to the Southern <br /> Pacific Railroad tracks running parallel to Standard Ave and Grand Ave,from Warner Ave on the <br /> south to McFadden Ave on the north. <br /> When the City of Los Angeles recently closed homeless encampments in the West L.A. area, and <br /> more recently in the San Fernando Valley, AGAIN, hundreds and hundreds of Los Angeles' <br /> homeless were 'displaced' to Orange County. And AGAIN, overwhelming the area between <br /> Standard Ave (west side)and Grand Ave (east side), and Warner Ave (south side) and McFadden <br /> Ave (north side). <br /> A Debacle <br /> This is a debacle. As much as the City of Santa Ana wants to be a "sanctuary city," to do so in a <br /> manner ENDANGERING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY of its residents, is unacceptable. <br /> If the City does not correct its course of action, immediately, a class action civil suit should be <br /> brought to remove that power from the City and hand this oversight to a "Special Master." <br /> Right here on East St. Gertrude Place between Grand Ave and Standard Ave, is a horrific <br /> homeless encampment BOTH along the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks, and along the public <br /> street. 1409 East St Gertrude PI is a magnet for filth, drug use, drunkenness, being accosted, <br /> more filth, more drug use, more drinking. <br /> Businesses are having difficulty leasing to new tenants, or keeping existing tenants. <br /> Business owners, their tenants, and customers are INTIMIDATED by: <br /> 1. Gang Graffiti whereby gangs attempt to `lay claim to' public and private areas. <br /> 2. Homeless encounters, including mental health issues. <br /> 3. Homeless camping on our business doorsteps and driveways. <br /> 4. Homeless damage to personal and business property. <br /> 5. Homeless theft. <br /> 6. Homeless filth, both personal filth and trash. <br /> Phone (657) 800-8065 Phone (657) 251-7001 Email: BruceSenator@outlook.com <br /> 1323B E St Gertrude PI, Santa Ana, CA 92705 P a g e 1 6 <br />
