It’s bad enough outside, but when you bring it into a closed area, it’s terrible. I’m tired of it. Why is it Santa Monica feeds these people, lets them stay here? I’m asking you to come to my house and clean it up.” — Vicki Luckenbach A resident, who became extremely emotional as she told the council that she has had to call the police more than 20 times since November of last year to keep homeless people from sleeping, urinating and defecating on her property. Recently, she said homeless people have been defecating in her driveway.
