Hans.....did you read the post? AAS did nothing!!!!

I agree! This has been going on way to long! Not only the dog issue, but the shopping cart "Train"! She has moved from many locations!! This one was reported as soon as she moved next to the school/daycare. WHY WHY WHY can't this be handled in a permanent solution instead of her just "Moving her moving to another location!! City of Antioch, do the right thing!!

Yes I did. But sometimes these issues take a lot of complaining ans situation updates. I speak out of personal experience. Keep hassling. Also read my post on illegally parked cars and homeles.

The dogs should be scanned for microchips to see if they actually belong to someone. Their physical conditions need to be assessed. Constant confinement in a small cage will have physical effects over time, as well as making them lose mental acuity. Some application of common sense would be good.

The City has IGNORED this situation for way too long. This woman needs to be dealt with. As a taxpayer I would like the City, Staff or Council to comment as to why this continues to plague our community. I'm tired of inaction or the response "the situation has been addressed". It NEVER is. Evict her, contact the Humane Society, County Health or whatever agency can effectively deal with her. Enough! TBA

TBA agree she clearly needs help

This issue has been reported numerous times without success. Thorpe and the Council have ignored it. Enough of the unhealthy mess and human health hazard.

What I would like to see is the homeless encampments and the trash gone. But have to say with this woman I see her move from place to place I never see trash she keeps moving I wish, with the other camps would do the same. Secondly if the Humane society go involved would the dogs be care for or put the death that is what they do.. So Ok she is having a hard road what can we as a city do to help she is the only homeless person that does not trash the city and no words about the one that do? Lets take time and come up with reasonable solutions for this particular one. Yes you do bring up a point but we need involvement and conversation on solving this but properly. Comments anyone?

Antioch does not support a kill shelter. As I have written, we need to recall the Mayor and Council because they are not able to resolve these types of situations. We need to allocate a safe and manageable place and a embedded program for our city wide problem. We will not be able to resolve with DUI or foul mouth, not functioning departments of our police or city. What have they accompliced so far? I get the City management report but I just read easy and short term wins and no structural resolution plan.

I agree we need to clean house and elect problem solvers not problem people. As the current people in office do not have the ability to begin to understand that we want them to do as we say not the other way around. Creating a peaceful well organized community has everything to do with listening to the people who live here and taking action on unhealthy environments. Proper solutions exist problem solvers exist just not with the city council

Years ago the City used to hold "Quality of Life Forums". Many of the problems we as a community face today were discussed at these meetings with no resolution or minimal at best effort to actually take steps to resolve issues. Quality of Life means different things to different people but we can all agree that things happening in our community affect us all. For example: vagrants flocking to Antioch due to lack of enforcement, speeding vehicles all over town, side shows all hours of the day and night, loud exhaust systems, sometimes no exhaust systems on vehicles, motorists running stop signs and red lights, loud music in neighborhoods that can be heard 1/2 mile or more away, unkempt yards (also affects our property values), parking on front yards and unimproved surfaces, trailers, RV's and boats parked in public view, trash containers left out, failure to enforce municipal codes. I'm sure others can think of more examples. The point is, this Council and Staff can address many of these issues easily through our Municipal Code and laws on the books related to the CVC. Problem is nobody is taking action which brings us to those running our Community or in many cases not running the Community. A fish dies from the head. TBA

I hear you TBA, I agree completely with you.

The post says that agencies have been notified. They all came out and didn’t do anything. They don’t want to get involved or do their job and have ignored this horrible situation for 1.5 years. These poor dogs need help!!! This lady has been offered help and reuses to take it. She just gets handouts and continues to keep these dogs in crates for hours on end!!!! Someone is going to take action and rescue them when she’s not looking or leaves for moment. That’s the only way these dogs will ever get help!!!!

There are people who have land in Antioch who would
Let this woman live there for a period of time and that
Way she would not actually be on the street so to say
This would be a temporary solution and a small step toward
Resolving the problem. I feel the city department’s have
Their hands tied by rules that they must follow or be dismissed. In time when we start to fix problems and
Gain control of a broken system we can more properly
Address a permanent solution so what do you think?

😱

Is ANYBODY reading these posts? AAS did nothing!!!! APD does nothing!
Besides these poor dogs, what about the the public heath hazard and the stench near the daycare/school??
How can this be happening??

This lady has been a constant problem for the City of Pittsburg and Antioch for about 2 years. Pittsburg was successful in ridding that community of this mess and with only one (1) person assigned to Code Enforcement activities. Brentwood and Oakley don't have this kind of issue nor the vagrant population Antioch does. I've asked the question many times, WHY? For one thing they don't have all the service organizations Antioch does. In fact when the vagrants were first offered mobile showers, the provider was from Brentwood. Those other communities don't have the do gooders that constantly provide food and other items to vagrants, including the Contra Costa Mobile Clinic and Sutter Delta mobile clinic that makes rounds here in Antioch. Lastly and the most important piece, they have leadership that does not allow it and don't want to make their communities havens for vagrants. I certainly don't see them spending 12.5 million dollars of taxpayer money to buy hotels to put them up in! Time to clean house folks. FOOS

If there's no other solution, maybe it's possible to buy the dogs and then buy the woman a bus ticket to wherever she lived before she ended up here in the mess she's currently in. GoFundMe for dogs held hostage or something. Throwing money at things isn't always the best idea, but sometimes it's all you have.

Such a disgrace. Shame on Lamar Thorpe and the City Council. OPPORTUNITY LEAVES HERE!
