Please be extra careful when walking our dogs. Avoid areas where unwanted activity or people tend to gather — their paws can easily pick up traces of drugs. When they later clean themselves, those toxins can be ingested, and in some cases even absorbed like an injection. I also strongly recommend leaving shoes at your front door and wiping the bottoms before putting them back on your shoe rack. It’s sickening what we have to guard against, but it’s better to be safe than sorry! Stay safe.
Just sent this article via email to the shelter, 311 and copied in the mayor city councilors and the deputy Priya of Oar and recreation:
Please be aware that we are already seeing the beginning of deterioration in our parks, sidewalks, streets, and public spaces — particularly during off-hours. This is frightening for those of us who live here.
We do appreciate the shelter staff sweeping and removing drug paraphernalia, and those responsible for maintaining a presence to minimize livability impacts, but as the shelter is only now beginning to step up to its full potential, our concerns about safety remain severe.
Neighbors are reporting more mentally impaired individuals wandering through our parks and neighborhood sidewalks — exactly what we feared when individuals with significant behavioral problems were imported into this area.
Thank you for addressing this with urgency. Our safety depends on it.
Please continue to report all problems directly to the people bringing this into our neighborhood, let’s let them know they also won’t be receiving our votes again, while we’re at it.

Thank You Nancy! We all need to keep reporting to mayor and councilors.
