The homeless can’t camp like this in American Canyon Napa Petaluma so what makes our city different?

That guy is still there? Wow...saw him months ago, fully sprawled out throughout the bus stop, and was shocked that he was allowed to be so cavalier. Typical Vallejo. "Local User" raises an interesting question about why Vallejo is the only city in the North Bay that appears to tolerate this nonsense. Homeless transients have no place in our community.

Just to put this into perspective regarding how long this has been an issue. If you type in this address on Google maps(151 plaza dr), rotate, scroll down to the bus stop and you can see him camping right next to the bus stop.
The reason I bring this up is usually Google Maps is a 1-3 years old.

LOL! Wow, you aren't kidding Jw. Looks like the photo was snapped in June 2017...meaning this has been going on at least a year. Great way to attract people to our city's central shopping area. 🙄

That bus stop across the street by Petco in about three years ago used to be completely filled with junk and trash. Someone used to sleep on the bench, not sure if it was him, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was, that would mean this has been going on for 3 years not alternating between the two bus stops.

The time has come to pay the community services division people a visit In Person to find out about the legal process being applied against this camper to remove him permanently from the bus stop.

I also wish to to know how our city's approach is so different that laws cannot or will not be applied the same way as city's close to us that will not allow 1 man to camp at the same bus stop for over a year.

Are we trying to be more like the Mission District of S F were the homeless are enabled by the lax city, county, and state laws and the freebies.?
If so a city official should just admit this and ask that we embrace this new norm and stop complaining about this issue

I drove past him yesterday, as of yet no action has been taken to remove him, people are standing 10-15 feet away away the bus stop to avoid him. Please remove this guy, unsanitary filth, garbage, bodily fluids, etc.
It’s wrong for him to be occupying this bus stop that regular people need to use everyday. Shame on this city for allowing this to go on.

As of this morning the man is still there so how far along is the city’s legal eviction process for this person?
If it’s not all about this mans legal right to squat there then what’s the reason he is still there?
A city official needs to respond to the public here with a personal non generic message that addresses only this issue. Thanks

This man has been arrested 4 times since we received this complaint. We have offered him resources and he continues to deny them. We are currently working on a permanent solution but this will take several months. We will continue to enforce until a permanent solution is determined. Please report to 911 when you see criminal activity taking place.

Thanks for your personal reply
Arrested 4 times ok then have him arrested every time he is released and returns to the bus stop until he is no longer released the next day
He is a repeat offender on same charges
Please keep Enforcing the laws until he is kept in jail for over 60 days

There’s a name for people like him, it’s called “recidivism”, repeat offender.

Any thoughts on removing the bus stop before the man dies of exposure or natural causes?
