Description
Multi person homeless encampment at the waterfront south of the Clear Choice office. The site includes multiple BBQ grills, tarps & umbrellas, shopping carts, bags, boxes, trash & junk. Trash cans near all over filling onto the ground. A dozen people milling about. Multiple bikes, walkers, a wheelchair & a motorcycle. It's a huge mess.

I know there are big plans for waterfront improvements, but since that doesn’t seem to be forthcoming can we just jackhammer that ugly structure and get rid of it. It was one of the worst ideas and ugliest piece of cement in town. Hopefully no one is too offended, since it is considered a memorial.

This location has gotten worse. The COV would pick up all litter on the ground and empty trash bins every Monday. Use to go there about 2 hrs. ago. Switched to the other side of the waterfront. Homelessness will always be about us. They become territorial. What’s sad is when I see children on bikes, skateboarding, wanting to be outside and come across this. Not saying that the homeless are not human beings, but it’s the use of drugs and drink alcohol that turns it into a safety issue.
The contrast (contradiction) for me is not too many feet away in the Ferry Bldg. is a nice coffee and eatery. Behind a brewery. Next door a great restaurant. Another nice restaurant across...that even has tables on the water. I tell ya!

Why even have security if they do nothing. Same goes for the boat launch, security is not doing the job, especially when they don't have the courage to even approach them.

Not that it matters, but my user name is "Anonymous," I'm a registered user, and have used this site, and others, for years.
I believe you can't change what you don't acknowledge, record and measure. These issues are important and therefore need to be documented and made part of the Official Record so something can be done. In order for funding and resources to be made available, the full scope of the problem needs to be documented and the issue needs to be made visible. One of the many ways to document is through this site.
There are people in this encampment using walkers and a wheelchair, recording this detail, gives a deeper understanding of the sad truth in this particular situation. It's a very sad fact.
As the reporter of this issue, I find your focus and attack of me curious. I want this situation resolved for everyone, so I will continue to observe and report because this is the only way it will be recorded and measured. Your name calling, berating and attempts to intimidate me into silence aren't working, I will ignore you going forward, and I suggest that you move on and leave me alone.

Please allow me this brief interruption of the blame game to offer a word of congratulation to our City Manager, Mayor and City Council. Ladies and gentlemen, despite entering office with diverse opinions and attitudes, you have managed to unite in bringing us:
* Well-meaning but frustrated citizens fighting like cats and dogs over intractable issues.
* Hard-working City employees being maligned for their efforts to handle situations they did not cause and cannot fix.
* A police department, out of control, featured nightly on TV news, costing us 7 million in law suits (so far), and yet having the audacity to demand new, deluxe waterfront accommodations, and
* Every parking lot and free space clogged with giant mobile homes, with drivers, supposed homeless and destitute, but who can still afford to fill those guzzlers with $4 gasoline.

I like that anonymous 1234. “Report & Release. Artsem I hear you, taking a breath might be wise. However, once that’s done get back on board. You are a true COV personal caregiver.
I believe our true motivation here is to keep COV at a high standard. Maybe some areas can’t be restored, renovated, as quickly as one would want. But there’s no reason for COV to become filthy, thrashed, destroyed, neglected, a bio-hazard...breaking laws and codes of established departments that expect people of COV to be in compliance with. We can’t change people, but what we can do by way of this application is to address issues. They welcome us.

Dee great question. I personally brought representatives from Caminar, Solano County mental Health and Solano County Social Services to them to provide every possible avenue to get them off the streets all at once. They could have chosen to take any or all of the resources provided but we can not force them into accepting the resources.
The Community Service brings these agencies out to all of the homeless encampments around town every 2 weeks.

In what way is:
Dee J ''.. just trying to survive being incarcerated and/or constantly shuffled around..''
an appropriate response to:
Christina E.''.. every possible avenue to get them off the streets all at once. They could have chosen to take any or all of the resources provided but we can not force them..''
Christina, thank you for your efforts.
Dee, please stop bending the truth.
