I've been complaining about this for more than a year. It keeps getting worse and the City does nothing to prevent it. Watch them close this issue on Monday.

I saw that guy a couple of weeks ago pacing and chanting something over and over . He actually is a longtime local that has fallen on hard times. He definitely needs help.

at least it’s just your park, in leucadia it’s just getting insane, they are on every corner and standing in all the intersections. when i’m driving to the grocery store, i have to call the cops 3 times to drive 1 mile for every issue i cross on the way there. this problem has exploded in 1 year and followed the opening of that parking lot. i watched a homeless man defecating in public in downtown encinitas. i just can’t believe it could get this bad this fast

Our elected officials are focused on more important issues like the ban on distributing single-use plastic bottles.

The covid laws retrict what the govt can do b with these folks and there are millions out of work for up to 9 monnths i guess now. Likely its all contributing to this problem all over SoCal and its going to take years to fix. Ever been to the trsin station in san clemente?

The persons there are not there because of COVID. Nor do they want assistance or housing. Go ask them. They need medical assistance, rehab and/or just like to live outside. And the City is allowing the encampment to grow. The city could have prevented it. They use Covid as an excuse.

You missed my point. Covid laws dont allow the city to relocate these folks so the city cant move them out. They may not be here because of covid but they are going to stay here because of it.

Homeless people have more rights than law abiding, tax paying citizens. just sayin...

Not so they can’t be moved due to Covid. It’s a recommendation. It’s more dangerous to all of the kids and adults who use the parks and bathrooms to have them there without masks, to have all their clothes left out, etc... they can be spreading it to all of us. People still use the tables. In addition many of them have kids toys which has me concerned about child abuse.

I just wonder how bad this has to get before citizens of this town get together and start taking on the city. Every time I have an issue with the city I call them and remind them how vicious my lawyers are and they fix my issue. if i knew how to sue them over the homeless and public health issue this is causing, there is no amount of money I wouldn’t be willing to spend. But even my lawyers are at a loss to figure out how to do it. There has to be a way, i just haven’t figured it out yet

Covid "laws"? I hate when people make comments about which they know nothing.

The state issued generic guidance which this city has stretched so far so as to justify doing nothing whatsoever pertaining to homeless because it works with the mayor's social justice warrior agenda. The city will ignore any issue related to homeless for the next 5 years citing this irrelevant guidance.

And good luck with your rightous indignation. Im sure the city will see it your way sooner or later.

I love tim’s “social justice warrior agenda”statement, I feel like that sums up our crack pot mayor perfectly lol.

Thank you for taking the time to report your concerns. Your request has been provided to the appropriate staff and the Homeless Outreach Program for Empowerment (HOPE) Team.

Please contact the San Diego County Sheriff Department North Coastal Station non-emergency line (858-565-5200) if you observe any illegal activities. If it is an emergency, please dial 911.

Please note that per the recommendations from the State, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and HUD, unless individual housing units are available, encampments are not to be cleared dispersing people throughout the community to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Please refer to the following links on the guidance:

State of California Recommended Strategic Approaches for COVID-19 Response for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness (https://bit.ly/2PuyV8s)

CDC: Interim Guidance on Unsheltered Homelessness (https://bit.ly/3keRdIQ)

HUD: Essential Services for Encampments During an Infectious Disease Outbreak (https://bit.ly/2DAtMc8)

Please stop sending HOPE. They are not fixing the problem. At least leave it open, and ensure the issue is resolved. The problem is growing under HOPE.
