Quote: | "Most of us can no longer walk or bicycle our downtown city streets, sidewalks, and parks without facing an obstacle course of tents, bodies, human excrement, needles, trash, and a slew of walking-zombies who are impossible to distinguish between those just down on their luck and others who are out-of-control substance abusers about to attack us," Walton and Mullen wrote in a column published Sunday.
"In San Diego, we have had enough. We are no longer going to follow other once-great American cities into the abyss of homelessness, lawlessness, and roadside shantytowns." |
Quote: | Walton and Mullen said Sunbreak Ranch, which would be located 12 miles from San Diego, would include:
•Portable toilets, portable showers, mess halls, medical tents, and storage facilities. Also, dedicated teams of mental health professionals, substance abuse rehabilitation specialists, and vocational trainers.
•A free daily shuttle service going to and from downtown San Diego.
•Private security and a permanent 24/7 public police station in order to maintain a "clean, healthy, safe and secure environment." |
