Ending Chronic Homelessness
(05-14-2023, 10:33 AM)Citizen1234 Wrote: Litt disgusts me. All the meetings I have sat in with him and Craig (City Planner), I just want to vomit.
He has brought nothing but Chaos to this area with his $200k donation to the emergency homeless shelter that he has provided at the Schwaben location.  Needles, garbage, homeless people in the boulevard who have made it their place to drink their alcohol, sleep and smoke their crack.  And it's up to the residents to call bylaw or the police to get them removed, 'because the Security that The Working Center has hired has their security zoom down the area faster than the speed limit when doing their "daily checks" for residents of the Schwaben Club.  It's pathetic.   Not to mention the countless breakins and the elderly being scared to walk or even live in their residence because of their encounters in the private residence.  The Region & The Working Center does nothing but avoid the questions we ask , and divert the answer to how well the staff at the Emergency Shelter are doing.  They address non of our concerns nor come forth with solutions.  They have promised a Town Hall to discuss this, months ago, and no action.  Absolutely disgusted with everything going on in the City, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Would you rather those people who are experiencing homelessness to be wandering the streets looking for some place to stay warm, potentially starting fires in abandoned buildings which could cause even more harm? Freezing to death on the sidewalk? Litt is providing these people who are just as much of a member of society as you and I a place to live, a place they can call home temporarily, my job allows me to have frequent encounters with those who are homeless and yes you have those who are eccentric, but you also have the ones who just got dealt a bad hand in life that put them into homelessness and are just trying to get their lives back together. You are blatantly stereotyping all of those who are using the emergency shelter system as those who are eccentric while many are not which shows the privilege you have since you can refer to them as "Chaos". Obviously the people living there will not be there forever as it will be developed in the coming years by Litt but in the meantime it is something that just has to be dealt with.
