Homeless again. Lots between G and L along the tracks.
This is where a lot of these “homeless” have their encampments! We can no longer just piddle around with them. Law enforcement should get more involved in taking these encampments apart. These fires are just the beginning and it will be a LONG HOT SUMMER!
Antioch cannot do anything to get rid of them on the train easement except call and tell them to take care of their property. Their own police do it.
