I have been coming down to the North Park neighborhood for over
eighteen months and it seems to be getting busier day and night with
homeless drug addicts in front of Social Services. I wish that something positive
could be done because my friend has already moved from her home in that area.
She feels unsafe because these folks are always walking around aimlessly on her
street... The chances of them going to rehab are slim and their quality of life must be
lacking. I feel some compassion but my friend has left her home. The taxes still need to
be paid by July 01/09. I really wish that the 2010 Games begin & end quickly. The North
Park neighborhood can only take so much of this homeless and drug activity... It would be
nice to see them all go back to the URBAN area they came from. Peace to all.
