our city is declining – quickly. Â anyone else noticing the breakdown of society resulting from pay to live is accelerating? Â it’s almost epidemic-like now. Â exploding. Â homeless are literally showing up everywhere around town. Â campers along the side of the roads. Â tents in parking lots. Â drug camps are mixed in with this population leaving needles, garbage and a lot of human waste behind in the alley ways, all along the rivers, streams, woods and public parks.
it is beyond disheartening. Â emotions range from sadness to fear to anger and disgust. people forgotten – lost – no longer care. Â i understand that feeling experience.
city government has allowed this to happen. Â police do the best they can but are stymied by elected officials and their policies. Â we have social media pages now of private citizens addressing this issue. Â there was a public meeting on this last night and our elected officials simply opted to create an oversight committee to look at addressing the problem. Â a laughable joke as the awakened locals know our government is brilliant at spending millions on coming up with solutions on paper but those solutions DO NOT MANIFEST. Â it was actually a campaign slogan of one of the people who ran for mayor last year. Â we have a friend who is a city employee and even though he isn’t a fan of Trump, he admitted in a moment of passion as he expressed his outrage with the city, “I understand why the people elected Trump. Â They were sick of the lies and wanted change!”
Many of the homeless are mentally ill. Â You could say we are like other sanctuary cities – scattered “skid rows” throughout.
If this plan and cleaning up is going to continue on into the upcoming months and even year – we won’t have much of a city much less country left. Â Certainly not the west coast and other sanctuary states.
It is mind boggling – the evil of the swamp creatures who would not only allow for this to happen but to create policies that enabled it. Â These beings aren’t human. Â No heart. Â Purely robotic at this point.
Part of me wants to stay here and help. Â And yet I know how exhausted I am. I don’t have it in me to fight much – not like I did in the past. Â So most of me wants to come up with the funds somehow to pack up and move away so I can find and live in a peaceful, supportive community. Â Bury my head in the sand? Â Perhaps, yes. Â Just like one can only take so much stress from the system, one can also take in so much sadness and disgust.
I pause – ponder – reflect. Â About 15 years ago I had the desire to create a trust fund and when I would see someone in need of help in any way that required money, I would write them a check. Â Naive? Â Perhaps for I know some say you can’t fix a problem with money.
And yet, quite often, it is money that creates the conditions that lead people into homelessness.
What else is there to say. Â Witnessing this breakdown is an unnecessary horror show. Â There is no purpose. Â No point. Â Allowed to happen. Â If ever there were a “point” when the program needs to end, it is indeed now. Â Snap ALL awake and flood the skies with the frequency of Love.
That is all.
