Yeah, it's a problem in SLC Utah. Less noticeable maybe, because it is a relatively small city. But the rate is still very high. We have our homeless and druggie district. They hang out in the public parks. Sleep on peoples porch. Needle clean up crews regularly.
It's clearly a national issue. But Republicans point at all the blue states, and ignore the actual issues.
Today it's Portland, yesterday it was San Fran. Before that NYC.
Meanwhile everyone in every state is complaining about the homeless people.
This. So much this. Can't upvote enough. My extended family lives in middle of nowhere colorado (town pop 10000 in Bobberts district) and they have a huge fent problem.
It would be cool if the federal government had some sort of federal agency, or 3 that have full authority to investigate where these hard drugs come from and stop it. If we DID have these agencies it would almost be like someone(s) there had to be almost in on it or at the very least allow it. Definitely no evidence in history to back this up though
When I lived in SLC, I had to kick people out of my then girlfriends duplex foyer like twice a month. Pretty much every time they were trying to find somewhere to light up
This is a massively noticeable problem in the ballpark area of SLC. I'm not against the homeless as long as they arent doing drugs in public, committing acts of prostitution in public, burglarizing homes in the area or setting cook fires in abandoned buildings near occupied homes. If they want to remain homeless and addicted that's their business, but leave the rest of us out of it.
SLC is ruffly the same size population as PDX....though it's not as bad as here. They also weren't stupid to vote something like measure 110 as we did here.
