Dear City Council,
I am once again reaching out to you regarding a pressing matter. Residing just behind
the railroad tracks, my family and I find ourselves unable to enjoy our own backyards
due to the incessant presence of trash and drugs being thrown over our property.
Each night, the situation leaves me feeling profoundly unsafe, knowing that multiple
encampments have been established behind our home. I ask: when will this come to
an end? Must a tragedy occur before action is taken?
These encampments present a significant threat, particularly due to their proximity
to our public schools, putting our children at risk of exposure to drugs and other
concerning activities. Our household has endured numerous incidents, including
drugs being thrown onto our property, among other disturbances. Despite our
efforts to address these issues with the Anaheim policy, we consistently receive the
same response: apologies, but this is not Anaheim's property, and there is nothing
that can be done.
We have been instructed to report these matters to the railroad company, which we
have diligently done. However, their occasional cleanup attempts prove ineffective,
as the encampments swiftly return. Occupied by drug users, prostitutes, and ex-
convicts, these encampments only serve to further deteriorate our city's cleanliness
and safety. It is imperative that decisive action be taken to address this escalating
issue. Our community's well-being and security depend on it.
Sincerely
Elizabeth Alvarez
