Mitre -Ramirez, Norma From: Todd Creager < Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 8:38 PM To: eComment Subject: Tern 85 A Homeless My name is Todd Creager, I've lived in Santa Ana for almost 20 years. We bought a home here after we received support from Santa Ana's First Time Home Buyer's Program. Thank you for that. Please understand my anger and frustration is not with the homeless -they are not responsible. You are, you allowed this to happen. They've done exactly what you've allowed. 1 am all for my tax dollars being used to help and aid those who can't help themselves -but I will not allow my tax dollars to be used in a manner that they currently are now where my mother-in-law literally fears for her life going to work in the library 100 yards from where we speak today. Where a child all but got kidnapped right in front of their school in broad daylight by somebody who clearly does not belong anywhere near a school let alone out on the streets. You have embarrassed this city, you have embarrassed the people who have bought homes here, established businesses, shop and dine in this City. Do any of you ever stop to read the comments left about santa ana in any public forum like facebook forum regarding the homeless situation? They hate us ... they think we deserve the homeless and they should be allowed to dump their "trash" in your yard. You have allowed this. Where is your ego? Where is your pride? How do you sleep at night and work in this environment right outside this room?! Stop spending our time energy and money on trying to protect your job and do something about this.... now! No more allowing ANYBODY to be dropped anywhere in our City. No more allowing anybody to live, loiter or sleep or dump belongings and trash in a park, a bus bench, a library, a riverbed, or any public structure whether owned by the city, county or state. ENOUGH. We want our parks clean and needle free, we want our bus stops used by people who actually use the Bus. We want the Bus Stops CLEANED on a regular basis. We want our parking lots clean and safe day and night. You've allowed this City to become a dump for the County. We want change NOW. Not tomorrow, not in 2 months not in a year. We want our streets, parks and libraries back NOW. Our expectations are for you to stand up and fight on Tuesday. Fight against allowing this to continue any further. We expect you to demand that the other cities start pulling their own weight. We demand a plan of action, we demand a website or facebook page be set up with weekly updates where we can hold you accountable. We left this in your hands -as we elected you. You all have completely let down the people who put you in that chair you sit in today. Nothing else you do matters -everything else can wait. This is your opportunity to earn the position you sit in and attempt to regain our trust. Needless to say, if things don't change immediately, whether it matters to you or not, I promise you, none of you will have my vote -no matter how many times you attempt to re -draw the district lines to keep your positions. This is on your watch and will be your legacy. Control it while you still can.
