I drive through here frequently, and it is an ugly mess in many ways. Will the City ever clean it up, and will OPD ever eliminate the drug dealing?

Mayor Quan will be holding a series of town hall meetings on public safety starting this Saturday. I think it's important for us to go to our area meetings and bring up the fact that quality of life crimes like illegal dumping and blight attract more crime like this drug activity. It lowers property values, causes people to move and depresses the entire community.

Here's a link to the town hall meetings schedule and locations:

If they would just clean this @#$% up, the drug dealing would be eliminated. Please encourage everyone you know to use this app and get this area cleaned up. The people who have lived here for the past 10 years do not give a @#$%.
