When will we get a mayor in Salt Lake City who is willing to confront and deal with our homeless problem? The current mayor has failed this city by letting them run amok, defiling and contaminating any area they reside in.
The amount of empathy you feel for them is probably in direct proportion to your proximity to them. In my area, they seem to rule the streets. I think it’s time we take this city back from them, aggressively keeping them on the move, maybe have roundups and a bounty on them, sending them to reeducation camps in the desert. Give the homeless a choice: Get out of town or confinement.
How about spending our hard-earned tax dollars running them off or rounding them up, instead of on a new Broadway-style theater, inland port, etc.?
Will the next mayor help rid us of their scourge, please. They are slowly but surely destroying our community.
Enough is enough.
