This is a College town and the RENT here is CRAZY stupid HIGH! Every year my apartment raises it 20.00, this year it was raised 35.00! Now new buildings go up with rent even HIGHER! Then BEACON wants a GRANT for the HOMELESS?!?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Let's FOCUS on the WORKING class citizens FIRST! I don't want to live in a DUMP, nor should I? But to pay $755.00 for a one bedroom, is the cheapest? That is what I am paying and trust me it isn't even the nicest. WHY NOT FOCUS ON CAPS for these SLUM LORDS who make a fortune! Or find someone like me a program with a good credit score a way to get an affordable HOME! Thanks, Tammy Backen

Situation in the McDoel neighborhood. This area is subject to ongoing problems with the homeless population leaving much trash, stealing from our yards, and leaving used needles about. If this was going on in more affluent areas like Sherwood Oaks there would be something done about it but the city has simply not put enough effort into keeping our area safe for the poulation who lives here. The various shelters cannot do much to influence the behavior of their clients. Another issue is that the shelters and especially Shalom Center encourages people to come to Bloomington rather than encouraging other towns to take care of their homeless. We are full of these people and many of us are fed up with their behavior and the numbers of them. McDoel has been an upcoming area with a mix of working class and professionals. Colder weather has subdues the homeless activities but with warmer weather coming many of us feel Switchyard park will again have numerous issues with panhandling and trash and encampments with druggies. There are several encampments in the area populated mostly be drug users. Anything they drag in does not leave and we have some areas of way too much trash. How about some enforcement ?

Hi there. :-( I just wanted to report about my stolen shoes at the venue stage. There is a camera right above where the incident took place. I’m a dummy for leaving them there while I was roller blading with friends but I was trusting in the safety of the park... but i should have known better since homeless people have full access to the park. If you could at least look at that camera, maybe see where that culprit went... I’d like to go ask for my damn shoes back. Thank you. I’d appreciate any help even a little :-(

The property at 708 S Adams St. is in a very run-down condition and it is at times being used by homeless people and they have been caught carrying property out of the house. The police have been called on these issues. However, our church Adams St. Chapel own's the propertiy connecting with this house at 712 S. Adams St. and are concerned for our pastorial family who have recently moved in that there could be issues with people living in and coming and going in the 708 residence. We would like to get it boarded up or condemed so that it is off limits to anyone and we would feel much safer. Please let us know if anything can be done to get this place condemed as unfit for anyone to live in. The lady who lived in it was admitted to Golden Living Nursing Home and her name is Margret Lamb. I don't believe she owns the property but maybe she could tell us who does and they can be notified about the current problem. Thank you. We will be waiting to hear from you. Mrs. B. White

There are a lot of homeless people that stay in this area from time to time between the state farm building and the electric site building and I don't mind them, but they often leave a lot of trash in this area. Can someone come out to clean the area?

Ticket 177562 was closed but these residents are still leaving trash, burning trash, and holding tons of waste in their yard. I beg someone to please take this seriously and request and enforce them to clean this mess up and not closing these tickets until these people remediate the issue. The problem is this area has become the wild west, and people are completely disregarding city rules/mandates/etc and nobody is taking any of it seriously. It's attracting dangerous people to this area, and its become a hotspot for drug dealers and homeless people. There are kids in this neighborhood, and its very depressing having neighbors leaving trash all over the place and making this neighborhood look the way it is looking. We are relying on you guys to please enforce this. It's enforced in other parts of town, it should especially be enforced here where the major problems are. Please have these owners take this seriously.
