We Get Letters

Greetings:

I agree that jailing for poverty or sleeping in public space is not the best way to help.  I have volunteered with Union Station and Euclid Villa and support full service approaches.

But very recently a camper in the Arroyo started a fire that could have burned up the west slope to houses on San Rafael Ave.  Unless removal of campers from the Arroyo is somehow provided for another worse fire could easily happen.  Better surveillance (by drones?) would help.  As a last resort,  removal of campers should be available to protect our neighborhoods.
