Day 97 at the 16th St. Plaza Im tired of hearing people fornicate in the alley.
Unpermitted vending and rampant drug use continue to plague Mission Street, particularly affecting families living at La Fenix, a 100 percent affordable housing complex. A frustrated resident criticized Bridge Housing's management for failing to address security and safety concerns, stating, "The security guards don’t watch the door and I’m tired of hearing people fornicate in the alley. " This ongoing situation creates a challenging environment for children who must navigate the area while returning home. The presence of drug use and unregulated vending raises questions about urban management and resident safety. Local authorities have yet to implement effective strategies to mitigate these issues, leaving vulnerable families at risk.
The need for a more proactive approach is evident, as community meetings have not led to tangible changes. Residents demand better oversight to ensure a safe living environment for families in the area. Addressing these concerns is critical for the well-being of the community.
