warming center Public Comment from Laura KlocowI am writing to voice my opinion on the warming center on Meridian. I have lived in the neighborhood off of Hawthorne for the last 17 years. We moved to this neighborhood because it
was safe, quiet and a beautiful area to raise our little family. In the last few years it has become riddled with things I wish my son did not have to experience at such a young age.
We have seen people urinating in many places throughout the area, with their “parts” in full view of anyone going by, we have seen people defecating in public, people falling down
in the middle of the street, walking down the middle of the street, beating each other, passing out all along Meridian… I know that there are addiction and mental health issues present
but I don’t feel safe walking around the neighborhood with my son any more. We were screamed at by a woman at the park for playing tennis on the tennis courts until she went and fell
down in the grass and passed out. Our quiet neighborhood has been overrun with transients and does not feel safe any longer. I understand that people need help and a safe place to
stay but that doesn’t mean that my safe place that I have built and worked so hard for should suffer. I do not support the warming center and hope that their conditional use permit
is revoked!!!!
Thank you for listening,
Laura Klocow
