Instead, drunks from all over the county are sent out onto downtown streets. Regional police agencies should be required to agree to take back their drunks as a condition of using the downtown detox center and county jail. Spread the suffering, don’t concentrate it all downtown.

Demaio has no fear that they would locate the shelter in his district, so it’s no skin off his neck to complain about “a lack of leadership.” Maybe we should give all the people served by the shelter a trolley pass and expect them to make the trek from the Qualcomm parking lot to St. Vincent de Paul. It’s just ridiculous that East Villagers complain about homeless! What were you thinking moving into a homeless camp if you can’t abide homeless people??
