Something needs to be done about this sooner than later. I don't feel safe walking the trail anymore and i'm affraid of another fire being started there.
I am extremely concerned about safety and the possibility of fires being started. My backyard fence caught fire during last Summer's fire, so now I am even more worried. I am also concerned for the safety of my daughter and afraid to allow her to play in our backyard. I believe if the homeless encampment is forced out quickly, and the City of Antioch is consistent in it's efforts to break up the encampment, this will limit the possibility of the encampment expanding.
I was harassed by someone close to the encampment as I walked on the trail today. I also saw another covered dwelling closer to the street (picture), and saw someone coming in and out of it. I hope Code Enforcement gets this cleared up soon. It's a danger to all the nice people that live here, who just want a quiet peaceful neighborhood to live in.
I all so walked the trail yesterday with my daughter and asked for money from 2 guys. I will no longer be walking the trail until this problem is fixed which is sad that I can no longer walk or enjoy the trail that is right by my house. I realky hope they fix this problem soon so I can walk the trail again.
All of these stories are very disturbing. We need to have our voices heard. I hope you all plan on attending the community meeting on March 28, 7pm at the Antioch Community Center.
Antioch police and code enforcement came and abated the encampment yesterday. I checked the place out today and the people and tarps are gone. THANK YOU to everyone who helped get this issue taken care of, and a special thanks to Officer Lenderman. He really went above and beyond! I can't say enough about his professionalism and care about the issue and everyone in the neighborhood.
