can these "residents" at least be made to clean up their trash, poop, and other stuff? in the interest of public health, that's the least that can be required of them

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

It's California, they'll just make a "Report a Poo" app so people can track places to avoid... which is pretty much everywhere. 😂

They are bums for a reason. They want to leech resources from the productive folks, and nothing more.

It’s a tough one. It’s terrible to see people having to resort to living like this but I can understand that the community is becoming concerned. As a parent of children under two years old, I would be very uncomfortable knowing that there is a homeless encampment nearby that is causing crime rates to increase and possible spread of disease due to filth. I really hope that they consider building more homeless shelters all around the USA because evicting them will not solve the problem indefinitely. They will just move further down the road again and become a problem somewhere else.

Why can’t homeless live n wealthy areas ??

All those Nimby's didnt want new neighbors, well you got em now!

Tujunga is very small and cannot take more population. The homeless were here well before the golf course left. The golf course served working and middle class people and had a restaurant. It was a community hub. It should have stayed.

Would be nice if Newsom would have porta-potties deposited and maintained all over the state.

Homeless nowadays have it so much better with their cars, pots and pans.

The leaving expenses in California is leading people to no other options, I've tough about leaving in my car too and save on that money rent.

Omg

[@Megatron-sl5us]

When will people realize that many homeless brings drugs, crime, violence, trash, etc.? Unless you can actually shelter for them as well as help them off the streets, homeless will continue to rise.

good pair of guzungas in tuhunga

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Lol. They blocked new homes from being built, which may have *helped* the housing situation, more available homes lead to lower rents. Now people are homeless from high rent and they have a 'new development' anyway. Good plan.

[@fremontpathfinder8463]

You don't get it. Tujunga is a semi rural area with mostly two lane streets. The homeless would never have been able to afford the homes being built.
