  1. These people clearly need help but the answer can’t be parking, camping or dumping on public land, all of those are illegal. I would recommend anyone to drive down pleasant run from the criminal justice center to fountain square and let me know that this is acceptable. Go drive or bike over by the river and see the amount of trash and filth these groups generated. These people need help and the cleanup along the public waterways, lands and trails is going to take at least a decade.

    1. You should see some of the mess that’s been left after they’ve disbanded the homeless camps on the east side. They’ve had to bring dump trucks in and front end loaders to load up the stuff and haul it away.

    2. They don’t want help. The people that need help are the ones that have to deal with them, which is why we need new laws/ordinances that have consequences

    1. I actually haven’t seen much of this, though the rising tide of litter suggests this is probably happening like crazy. Many of the intersection beggars almost definitely have homes and are making this their income source, and they tend to trash things up at their preferred junction. Cite them for it. Beyond that, people with homes and cars tend to litter quickly and secretly.

      Meanwhile, most of us HAVE seen the homeless junkies doing this. In fact, it’s their habitat. Further proof that the solution isn’t housing for 95% of them. Give them a Jimmy Carter home and they’ll trash that within three weeks as well. They are addicts; they’re addiction got them where they are, and their inability to adapt to basic norms of civilized society are why laws like this will be necessary.

      Public littering is very hard to punish because it’s so difficult to trace to its source…unless the source is living amidst the filth that he or she generates. Bring back the mental health institutions and treat these people of their addictions, so they can return to a life with dignity.
