Orozco, Norma From: Darla McBee < Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2018 9:14 AM To: eComment; City Council; DOC_Chambers@cacd.uscourts.gov Subject: Santa Ana Homeless - Time to take legal action To whom it may concern, I am a Santa Ana resident of over 8 years. Santa Ana has been a dumping ground for homeless. This is not fair to the residents of this city. It is not fair that my home value has not gone up as much as Irvine and Laguna Nigel because we have these type of problems. It is not fair my taxes are going up due to these type of problems while other city's get to avoid dealing with this county wide problem. It is not fair for our children to have parks riddled with feces and needles. Our children are just as important and deserve a safe and clean environment just as much as Irvine. I heard those people talking a few weeks ago and it made me sick. Irvine values their children and residents more then Santa Ana. Why? Because it is a largely Hispanic populated city? are Hispanics not worthy of safe and clean environment? And what about our businesses? Santa Ana is a creative and innovative hub with so much potential. There is a lot of talent and culture that can draw people from all over the country to visit and spend money in our city. But with these homeless sleeping and leaving needles around - who is going to want to visit? Not to mention you are never sure when a homeless person may do something harmful to you. Some of these homeless are very sick and unpredictable. I should not have to fear being randomly punched or have someone randomly dart out in front of my car. We need to step up and say enough is enough. We need other cities to participate in the solution NOW. Not leave them in Santa Ana and discuss solutions for months and months. We need action now. 1 100% support Santa Ana council to take legal action. Thanks! Darla McBee Wilshire Square
