Some See Homeless Population as Threatening

Editor,

I am a homeowner who lives near downtown Laguna Beach. Many of our citizens are reeling from the fact that the ACLU is now suing our city for not accommodating the ever-expanding population of homeless who have come to Laguna as a result of our building the ASL in the canyon.

This newly arrived homeless population threatens the ambiance and safety of our village. Anyone who spends time around downtown has had negative encounters with the homeless. They have slept in my yard and on one occasion a transient male entered my home through a closed door and confronted my teenage daughter. Inside my house! Luckily, I was in the next room and he ran out when he heard my voice. Who knows what would have happened if I had not been there.

I recently found a small homeless campsite in my yard. When the police came to inspect it they found bolt cutters and an ice pick.

It is a known fact that the homeless are sent here from other cities, and we’ve even met several from other states. These homeless are not families in need; they are a danger and nuisance to our community.

The citizens need to strongly support our elected officials in their fight against the ACLU lawsuit.

Enough is enough!
