First off, the B-line is trashed. The woods on the edge of the trail are absolutely covered in trash. There were fires lit, and the creek to carrying the trash down to our more major waterways. Now, the residents of this camp are driving cars to their encampments along the b-line, blocking the trails, and making enormous ruts in the trail and grass along the side of the trail. Furthermore, I am a large white, male. I was concerned for my safety (ON THE B-LINE) as three (obvious methamphetamine enthusiasts) came out of the woods while I was passing by. Their behavior was not normal, and being three of them would scare most people from using this important public space - including myself.

Homeless people are again living in People’s Park. They’re using drugs, fighting, leaving trash everywhere, screaming and yelling, urinating and defecating and have taken over most of the benches and tables. It also appears that they are sleeping there overnight. We bought ice cream across the street and expected to have a nice Sunday afternoon in the park for thirty minutes or so… we tried sitting on the steps of a business on the opposite side of Dunn Street but the shrubbery nearby was probably soaked in urine based on the stench. We simply left at that point….. No other Indiana city of the same size and population has a homeless population of 1 % of that of Bloomington and that is directly attributable to the fact that Bloomington attracts these people by virtue of feeding them and enabling them unlike anywhere else in Indiana. I’ve lived in and near Bloomington since 1974 and this has simply gotten totally out of hand.
