Cleanup of C Street is goal of program. I perked up at this article, since I walk down C street fairly regularly to visit my gym (on 7th) and back, usually at night. Anna and I are also fans of the spicy eggplant at Gen Lai Sen (12th, right across from the trolley stop).

C street downtown has remained a bit sketchy in places (trolley stop @ 12th for example), but I guess I am surprised that it makes people “fear for their safety”. I suspect a lot of it will entail relocating the few homeless that are sleeping around doorways at night. The supporters are probably the businesses and new urbanites – if you spend 400k for 400sq feet you might not be comfortable with a homeless guy sleeping on your gaslamp bar route.

During the summer, all of the shelters are closed. If you walk down 13th between C and Broadway at night, you will find about 20 people camped out. It is a similar situation around the warehouses further south. Are the cops going to push them out into the residential areas of Sherman Heights or Golden Hill? There is already a significant number that camp in the bush around Balboa park and canyons near the golf course.

Where are they supposed to go?
