Agree, this is very dangerous for our neighborhood. 23rd Street is a residential street and no encampments should be allowed. Moreover they bring the element of filth, trash, drugs into our neighborhood. I don't invite friends to my home anymore. I'm too ashamed of my neighborhood.

I no longer invite friends and family to my home as well. While exiting the freeway to see a huge encampment. Then a huge pile of trash and as you drive to my residence more tents and more trash. The comments I get from family is hurtful because it's not like I can pack up and move. I'm fearing that one of these fires are going to get out of hand and spread to people homes. And with all the complaints they receive daily regarding this what will be the response when this happens. I'm just so livid they are allowing this to continue this long.
