We have what 150k people in the county, almost 40k people getting assistance from the county? Wtf? Does anyone else see the issue here? This is rediculous. Almost 1/3 people on public assistance, shit I should just throw in the towel and quit working and get free everything from the county…
T street and Waterfront- there is a trailer and a motorhome. they are both in poor shape. I see people hanging around these 2 places, perhaps using drugs. The cops don’t do anything and it is hazardous to my health seeing these folks camping on the waterfront.
