When Pollyanna starts complaining about the homeless situation in Santa Monica, you know it must be getting bad!
Maureen Schugardt’s letter, “Homeless need tough love,” Sept. 6, 2002, is one of the best writings on the topic I have ever seen. Clearly, she is a loving, caring person who is active and well informed. I believe that her views are shared by the vast majority of us in Santa Monica. Thanks to Maureen for writing it; and thanks to SMDP for printing it. We should enlarge her article to poster size and post it all over the Promenade, the park and, most importantly, City Hall.
