Move them out before more move in. FOOS

I’m sick of this. Antioch gives two cents about the blight. They only paved 2/3 of our streets! They left the edges unpaved!!!! Savings? Did that do this in every neighborhood?!?! Clean these pigs up! Enough.

It seems that my last post may have been a little too harsh so I’ll try again to state my point less pointedly. The homeless situation in Antioch is certainly getting worse. Our mayor and council majority may have come up with a solution. The plan is to purchase a 30-room motel on 18th street to house the homeless. This is expected to cost the city 12.5 million dollars over 5 years and expected to deplete the budget reserves. Additionally, we can expect more homeless to flood our community once the word gets out. Like many government ventures, we should expect the program will be more in the long run. Additionally, like other communities that have tried this, our police department will be taxed with more calls for service associated with the program, just ask Pittsburg. Once our reserves are depleted it is this taxpayer’s opinion there will be a ballot measure to increase taxes to replace our reserves. Additionally, once implemented the program will never go away. Other cities have tried this. In fact, San Francisco is grappling with a whole host of issues regarding their program. As a taxpayer I am not in favor of any city funded homeless housing program.

This idea (housing homeless in hotels)has been tried in other places. They trash the rooms and defecate anywhere. The cleaning ladies will refuse to work there anymore. Bad idea! Housing the mentally ill in hotels is not a good idea.

Thank you for submitting this request. It has been addressed. Thank you for helping to keep Antioch a great City.
