✆ “The disgusting, ridiculous homeless problem should be first on any city council member’s list. I guarantee any candidate running on an anti-homeless platform will win any position he is after by a virtual landslide. The bastards in office right now would have us all believe that we have some kind responsibility for vagrants, addicts, runaways from decent homes who just don’t want to work and derelicts of society. I get up and go to work even though I don’t want to, and I know for a fact there are jobs available in Santa Monica. Maybe they aren’t the best jobs, but I don’t want to support these idiots anymore. We need a city council who respects hard working residents and not bums.”
