Description
In White Slough area near the old Kmart property behind Three Brothers Furniture on Sonoma Blvd.
Filth, trash, blight. This area is getting worse by the day, huge Biohazard and fire hazard.
Trespassing, illegal camping are among the multitude of laws/ordinances being violated here.
Please remove and secure this property. This and other encampments are polluting of marshes and waterways with trash, human feces and hypodermic needles. Notice the warning sign in the picture that states that this IS PRIVATE Property.
This is unacceptable, I don’t understand why this is allowed to continually go on here. These folks need to be moved on and held accountable.
Time to clean up Vallejo’s White Slough for the wildlife and residents of Vallejo to enjoy.

San Francisco actually spends almost $250 million a year on the homeless and it doesn’t even make a dent in the problem. If you don’t believe me just google it. SF spent $241 million on the homeless in 2016.

It is that we are not fooled by their act.
A lot(not all) the so called “homeless” in Vallejo are bums, tweakers, druggies and lazy vagrants who don’t respect other people’s property or laws and regulations.
I have ZERO compassion for these folks that drag this city into the gutter and could care less.
These folks don’t respect themselves, why would they respect anyone else and why should we afford them any respect or compassion?

Happy New Year

Jw here’s the link you overlooked while googling the costs per year for S.F.’s homeless population http://beyondchron.org/sfs-homeless-spending-myth/
Local User, I may be fairly new to “SeeClickFix” but I’m far from a newbie to Vallejo. Happy Holidays

The whole state of California needs to have a homeless SUMMIT to determine how to deal with the problem, even as it is increasing nationwide because of the increasing housing costs. I haven't been to city council meetings lately, but that is the place to bring this up.
People are naturally polarized between the lazy-scum-need-to-pull-themselves-up-by-their-bootstraps versus homeless-need-help viewpoints -- we are all different in our views and that is something to CELEBRATE . . . if we were not, this would not be a democracy and the human race would have gone extinct by now. Trashing each others views won't solve the problem. Finding constructive solutions that work, economically and emotionally, is how it will be fixed, not trashing others, but advocating non-hyper-polarized solutions that most *could* get on board with.
Politicians will likely not solve this -- if they could, it would have already happened.
For example, in SF, when Gavin Newsom was mayor, they did a sort of scam where they funded Single Occupancy hotel units for homeless people in order to take away the cash that was being given out to them monthly - it was a boon for scummy hotel operators that never actually changed anything. Homeless were then isolated from others, which increases mental illness.
"The principle behind Care Not Cash was to offer single-room-occupancy hotel rooms to all the homeless Community Adult Assistance Program recipients whose benefit was cut - more than 1,200 people. A lucky 15 percent of the single homeless population had gained basic housing, but the conditions were now even harder for the rest. With the designated Care Not Cash rooms filled, new homeless assistance program claimants were left forfeiting most of their check just to stay in the city shelters. The assistance program rolls predictably fell sharply, yet the annual homelessness count showed little change."
And as we see on the streets of SF today, homelessness and open drug use is still a MAJOR problem - https://twitter.com/bettersoma/status/1077254007599489024
What are the solutions that don't involve personal attacks on people, but are constructive and active in nature?

It’s not a question of compassion, it’s about vagrants that choose this lifestyle and choose to life in squalor.
Truly homeless people want to better themselves and get out of their situation, those are the ones who deserve our compassion and help.
The rest need the boot. Please stop defending these criminal bums.
Being homeless does not give someone the right to break the law and wreck havoc everywhere they go or create filth.

The issue here is folks that ignore the laws and trash our community, if they show the community respect then they will receive respect, help and compassion.

As is the causes of homelessness. This is a huge problem.
The topic at hand here is the laws being broken by the homeless.
Just because someone is homeless doesn’t mean they have to automatically start living like a pig, trespassing and breaking laws, this is what this request is about.

That being said, it would be unwise to do it outseleves, that’s why we ask the COV to get tough on this and enforce the laws and ordinances in Vallejo and maintain a clean, safe and healthy environment for the tax paying residents in Vallejo.

You’ll really hate this, but the answer is housing. Whether it be the cleanup and policing of this behavior or to build a structure and put somebody in it, you and every other taxpayer is going to pay either way. The “move along” as you have said yourself just puts them somewher else. Out of sight out of mind is not a solution. The other alternative is a permanent solution for a vast majority of the disadvantage population.
Disclaimer; I will still be reporting homeless encampments & dumping, they are illegal, I will work with what the city has and continue to ask for all services to be restored.

You can be poor or homeless without living amongst your own filth and abusing drugs.
-They don’t have jobs so they all all day/night to as they say “pack it out” and go find a trash can or dumpster.
-Even if they are somewhere whether not they belong there, they can keep it clean for their own health and sanity and out of respect for the property owners and the community.
-Instead if using drugs(not all of them do drugs, but a fair amount do), focus their energy on bettering themselves, thus providing a likelier chance of getting out of homelessness.
{Being homeless is not an excuse to live like a pig and ignore laws and the well being of others}

Th residents of Vallejo are just getting sick and tired of the constant blight, filth and disregard for laws.
Another thing, I agree, the homeless tend to hoard to the extreme(they are always in hunter/gatherer mode and hold on to too much junk.
For someone with so little they sure produce a lot of garbage.
