There are those problem people who, for many different reasons, will not fit into society as we know it, whether it be too much damaged mentally or it’s just a passion to fuck things up, including people.

Our city just doesn’t have enough mental facilities or jails to house everybody, and with the alleged band of immigrants heading towards California, the odds are that Stockton will get some of them.

With the climate of gangs already here, they will make our problems become much worse financially, by putting pressure on us socially and threatening to definitely hurt us physically.

Stockton is doing many things for the homeless, but I’m just not so sure they are the right ones to do.

City officials know they have been boxed into a real corner by the laws that provide loopholes and limitations, so now these actions are probably the only legal ones they can take.

My opinion still stands, about all the money we’re giving out, we’re doing it without educating them and that’s really a bad gamble, you can’t place people into what their will perceive to be luxury and nice and expect them to instantly turn into law-biding citizens, and then expect them to care about people, property, and anything else that requires common sense and planning.

When you live in an environment that runs on no rules or responsibility, you can’t throw money and resources at them, and hope for the best. After all, you’re placing these people in the community where regular families will be exposed to all kinds of bad.

You wouldn’t do that to kids, and I know we’re talking about grown adults, but they have been living under trauma, stress, and violence; they will need retraining to regain civility and independence.

Just like people released from long periods of isolation, they are going to need time to break in. So, the question is what happens to the ones who don’t get a place in a room? Surely, they shouldn’t be left to continue roaming our city. The residents will say no, not in our neighborhoods, no, not anymore in our parks, and it seems no, not anywhere in the city at all.

These answers need to be addressed soon, before the newcomers get here and really show everyone what bad is. One possible solution would be to build a self-contained tent encampment outside of the city limits, which would be a place for those who, for whatever reason, couldn’t get placed in a shelter or room.
