I've received multiple mailers this week from local City Council candidates who claimed to have made "our streets safer" in their term. I couldn't help but think... "Really? I wonder if these candidates have spent any time on Yuba Street in the last 7 months?" Because I have. And many of you have as well. Yuba Street is off the hook. It has become less safe, more unnerving, the population of homeless/drug addicts/the like has grown, and it is increasingly unsettling to visit... this area of downtown, let alone walk around with children, even during the day. People tell me, on the daily, that they are afraid to go to the Post Office. Afraid to park on Yuba St. and walk to my business, Carousel. Several of my customers in the last 3 months have told me about seeing people shooting up and walking around naked on their way into my store (and I have seen this, on the regular, over the last handful of years. Honestly, I think this is unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. I have not figured out, for the life of me, why Yuba Street is the chosen street for this kind of behavior/activity, but in my 4.5 years at Carousel, and for the three years before my taking ownership of the store- this street has been a transient and crime magnet. Nothing has changed. It has slightly shifted locations (from the park), but has definitely not changed. Now, I understand that our terrible state laws defining what constitute a crime, along with the "prison reform" strategy taking place over the last handful of years (remember AB109?) have both had a negative impact on the state and therefore, our county- making it seemingly impossible for our PD to do anything more but move people along. I think RPD is an exceptional group of people, doing their best, and I wouldn't have a business on Yuba Street today, if it wasn't for them. ALL this to say: as I choose who to vote for next month for our local City Council, this is my question to all running: Which one of you has a real plan to address these downtown (specifically Yuba Street) issues? Which one of you has spent real time on Yuba Street & the neighboring streets - and seen first hand what we have allowed this area to become? And, with all the development happening downtown right now, what are your thoughts - and what is your plan - to ensure our lovely new downtown core isn't immediately taken over by this crowd of thugs who do as they please and make the tax paying citizens feel incredibly uncomfortable to even get out of their vehicles in this area? Stating that you will 'make our streets safer' is simply not enough, and too vague a statement to get behind. We need a real, tangible solution - followed up by action.
