The Globe writes frequently about the widespread, growing population of drug-addicted street people in Sacramento. I take photos to illustrate my observations.

California hasn’t gotten the people and laws they’ve voted for for years.

Hire a “Judas Goat” homeless person to lead the rest to set up a camp on the sidewalk in front of the mayor’s house.

Let’s think about this. Drive away the hard working Middle Class who pay for Government Services and replace them with non-working drug addicted people who only consume Government Services. Great plan California, how long do you think that will work?

I AM A HOMELESS UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT. CAN THE COALITION STILL OFFER ME SERVICES?

Yes, the Coalition for the Homeless serves clients regardless of their immigration status, although eligibility for each of our programs is specific and immigration status may influence your eligibility for some of our programs. If you have questions regarding your eligibility for certain programs at the Coalition for the Homeless or specific government benefits, please come into the Crisis Intervention Program to speak with an advocate.

Out of curiosity I looked it up. The current mayor of Sacramento, Darrell Steinberg, was re-elected in 2020 with over 77% of the vote.

Make of that what you will.

Maybe in November vote in the other direction.

If not, well, this is the meal you ordered.

If we just made it LEGAL for outdoor camping within 500 feet of any elected official, appointed official or Officer of the Courts Personal Residence, everything would be fine.
