This area which is directly across from my business at 2510 wood was completely cleaned up by the city a week ago. In less than a week the homeless encampments directly next to and down from this area have continued to re dump garage . I pay waste management for my garbage pick up and these illegal encampments that get FREE garbage pick up continue to dump their garbage on public property. In addition to dumping garbage illegally they block the sidewalk and sleep off the curb in the public right away. Too many ways the city can take control of this situation which has been in this location for over one year and nothing gets done . Inexcusable to a business and property owner in this city.

This is the thanks from the Mayor and city leaders to us taxpayers. Letting it continue is a slap in the face to all. Give these homeless encampments community service to pay back for each time they dump. Unacceptable

since the city is choosing areas to allow encampments, and not evenly applying the law, will we the targeted and suffering local businesses receive city business tax and county property tax reductions ?
