Oink, I agree with you. Without order there is chaos and chaos is not what is acceptable in the United States.
You have to hold people accountable or their actions. There are no "free shots".
You have to adress the feeling of "disenfranchisement" that the "local" people are expressing as well.
It's obvious that some individual is either committing crimes to live on?, or committing crimes against an individual, for whatever reason. It may be the way they are accustomed to dealing with "issues"? Some "local" people feel that no matter what they say, nothing can be stopped or fixed.
Primates use rock throwing as a way to communicate, so you may have hold people to a higher standard. Correcting behavior like this in humans requires the intervention of law Enforcement at times. The fact that crimes are happening daily is just a plain lack of law enforcement.
Also address the rumor that US Veterans are living in the bushes and treat those men like MEN and not like animals. The Vets need outreach coming down there and giving them what they need.
Don't close your eyes to the idea of meth heads breaking into cars either. "Tweakers" stay up for days at a time thinking about how they can rip good people off. MORE DRUG TREAMENT.
Who is 'fencing" all this stolen stuff? Who is buying all this stolen stuff? Watch the swap meets and farmers markets for possibly stolen goods.
As far as clean up of the area ? Can we please have the probation department send down work crews to the landing? If your dumb ass wants to commit crmes then you are going to clean my community parks and rec areas in your "community service hours".
High School kids also have to do "hours" as well, and they can do a "cleaning up the parks" day. It builds charecter.
The Police have a cadet program. If they met in the park and drilled there or did their runs or PE there, it would be a great deterent.
LAPD rookies had to do 1 month of foot beat on Hollywood Blvd and I'm sure HPD could do something similar.
I think that the converting of the area to a State or County park is going to create the problem of where are the homeless that live there now going to go? You won't have people living in bushes in a state or county park.
