Description
Collection of over Five RVs, a trailer, and six passenger vehicles have taken over the area. They use the sidewalk as if it was their property. They have been pulling water from the hydrants and dumping sewage down the street gutters. This unsafe collection of nefarious characters do not belong in what was once a nice quiet place. We no longer have safe access to our public spaces like sidewalks and lake dalwigk park. Plenty of drug paraphernalia has been found littered in this area, plenty of feces has polluted our senses here as well and the garbage piles abound. The constant noise of gas powered electric generators pollute our outside spaces, often over 120dB after 11pm. The majority of these vehicles are unregistered and therefore illegally parked as well. Prostitution has been reported. VPD has been to multiple homes in the area to investigate larceny and break ins. Please please do something to help us here. Most of the residents who own or rent homes on this section of 5th Street cannot take matters into our own hands. Why should we live in fear? Why should pay taxes for no benefits? Where is our representation? Where are the people who care?

Removing the homeless encampment from 5th Street is a necessary step to address both the immediate and long-term challenges facing the community. Firstly, such encampments often lead to unsanitary conditions, posing health hazards to both the homeless individuals themselves and the surrounding residents. By relocating the encampment and providing alternative shelter options, we can improve the living conditions for those experiencing homelessness, offering them a chance at better health and access to necessary services. Additionally, removing the encampment can help revitalize the neighborhood, making it more appealing to businesses and residents, ultimately bolstering property values and community well-being.
Secondly these visible signs of disorder and neglect, from the homeless encampment, create an environment where criminal behavior becomes more likely. By addressing this visible issue, we send a clear signal that the community cares about its appearance and safety, discouraging potential criminal activity. Moreover, when an area is perceived as unsafe, it can deter economic investment and community engagement, perpetuating a cycle of decline. Many crimes have been reported recently. By proactively addressing the encampment, we disrupt this cycle and contribute to a safer, more vibrant neighborhood where residents can thrive!
