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