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.

As I tried to obtain cash from the ATM, a homeless man walked up and waited next to me and asked me for money as I was pulling my cash from the machine. This is unacceptable and unsafe behavior

Homeless camp behind the railing. There are signs that say, no dumping or you’ll be prosecuted. But, there are junkies living over there. They leave trash anywhere they want, they throw their needles on the ground, they broke into my neighbors house. They were on my property 2 days ago. 1 of them is obviously strung out, threatens people. Somethings going to have to change over here. This area hasn’t been this bad in about 5years or so. They’ve been made to move from wherever they were before, and they need to move again. It’s gross to see in your neighborhood and they’re being thug hoodlums.
