Anaheim City Council's emergency declaration sets stage for removal of homeless encampment

Anaheim has declared a state of emergency over the ballooning homeless community along the Santa Ana River, clearing the way for the removal of hundreds of people living in a landscape dotted with trash and used hypodermic needles and lacking toilet facilities. The move underscores the growing homeless crisis facing Orange County and on ongoing struggles of communities to deal with the problem. Earlier this summer, Anaheim removed bus benches across the street from Disneyland following complaints about the homeless population sleeping on them around the amusement park.

A survey last year placed the number of those without shelter in the affluent county at 15,300 people, compared with 12,700 two years earlier. While cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have long dealt with large homeless communities, officials in Orange County said they are still working on ways to help the growing population and coordinate resources among numerous cities.

But they aren’t closing it down. They simply are going to have four policemen walking through that mess.

The Anaheim city council and the OC Supervisors let this disaster grow without doing a damned thing. It’s only when KFI and the people along the river began rising in anger that they lifted a finger.

But it’s all BS. They are not going to close it down.

Nothing will happen until we get a severe disease outbreak like the hepatitis down in San Diego’s homeless camp. That’s killed something like 16 already and sickened hundreds. Orange County will be next, that river trail is a regular petri dish for cholera and hepatitis.

Just outside of the view of most tourist, Anaheim is crawling with illegals.

All of SoCal is crawling with illegal aliens. And half of NorCal.

Obviously, but the article is about Anaheim. They’ll need to rename Anaheim to Gangheim, and Disneyland to Homoland.
