Mayor, I am the owner of Nueva Cantina at 1625 4th Street South and I am writing to you over the negative impact, the homeless and pan handling situation has become. For my 1st year open our police force did a great job keeping them away from our business but in the last 6 months it has become epidemic. The biggest issue seems that they have chosen to hang out at the McDonald's, which is next to us on Paris Street. Anything you can do to help would be most appreciated.

Let me copy and paste this meaningless comment again like the city does. If forwarding this to the office of homeless affairs fixed the problem we'd be enjoying safe streets by now. Let's hear from a real city official that has some answers or explanations.
I urge business owners to go to local news outlets with this story. Maybe the negative publicity and some choice camera shots of what 4th st south looks like on any given day (so close to downtown!) will get the city motivated to fix this problem.
. This complaint has been forwarded to the Office of Veteran, Social & Homeless Services. Please continue to immediately report any criminal activity or safety concerns to the SPPD directly by calling 727-893-7780 if not an emergency, or 911 if an emergency.

Let’s start at the beginning. When a person decides to choose drugs over everything else in life and they choose to stop working, which is over 90% of the homeless (excluding veterans of course which are a separate issue) , they immediately become financially dependent upon all of us who are working and struggling to get by and pay our fair share of taxes.
The first cost to us is when they go on government benefits such as food stamps and welfare. And unless you’ve been involved with the homeless most people don’t realize that as soon as they begin getting those government benefits they sell them and use that money to buy drugs to support their drug habit.
The second expense to the hard-working taxpayers is all of the infrastructure that the homeless use such as the roads and bridges and transportation and the building roofs that they sleep under etc. Without our tax dollars paying for all that infrastructure the homeless would have no way of getting around and nowhere to go and no place to sleep.
The next expense comes in when our hard-earned tax dollars go towards the police and the ambulance and the hospitals and the courts and all of those social services that are used by the homeless come out of my paycheck! And yours.
Then there is the expense of our depreciated property values due to the disgusting conditions the homeless create in our neighborhood. And all of the money spent on putting up fences etc. to keep the homeless from urinating and defecating and throwing their drug paraphernalia and trash in our yards.
Add to that the increase in what we all pay for food and services in the homeless filled neighborhoods because those businesses need to charge more to make up for the lost income from the people who refuse or who are afraid to frequent those businesses due to the homeless people.
And finally when the homeless person finally passes away who do you think pays for taking care of that? That alone is several thousand dollars !
This doesn’t even account for all of the other affects of a person who chooses a drug and unemployed lifestyle such as the effects on their families etc.
If you added up all of these things plus all the things I’ve forgotten and realized how much of your paycheck is spent to support people who have chosen to do drugs and not work you would be outraged!
St. Petersburg paid multiple thousands of dollars to have an outside independent firm come in and assess the homeless situation. The number one recommendation that was BEST for the homeless (I repeat that’s best for the homeless not best for the rest of us) is to stop feeding the homeless. Because that just perpetuates the problem and enables them to continue living a drug filled worthless life. But unfortunately the bleeding hearts of the world refuse to except FACTS and so we continue to pamper the homeless and support the salvation army and support food banks…
If the bleeding hearts really actually cared about the homeless they would take the time to educate themselves as to what’s best for the homeless.
(Note: A “sanctuary city” is by definition a safe space for hard-working immigrants who are doing the best they can to make their lives better and become taxpaying citizens, it is not a “sanctuary” for people who choose drugs and choose not to work.)

“ your comment has been blocked due to moderator approval“.
It’s called censorship! This site doesn’t want people to state the actual FACTS dealing with the homeless and until people face the facts the homeless problem is never going to be solved.
