Now that the homeless have been moved from the Tech Center, I’ve noticed the number of these people around downtown has greatly increased! Greatly.
I’m guessing not all were happy with the new location. A 10-minute walk to a bus stop! Oh my, how horrible. I walk 1.3 miles to work.
We seem to have missed a place where vagrants have been and are still living. The caves above the old Pizza Hut.
You can see them walking on a trail up there and see the light from the flames of cigarette lighters and the glow of cigarettes when it gets dark. One tossed cigarette butt could be disastrous.
I am not saying we should send people up there to drag them down, no telling the condition of the trail(s?). But they need to be moved before anything happens.
And I don’t even want to imagine what they’ve done to those caves and surrounding areas.
