Greetings, Mayor McCann.
Real mercy and compassion is based on Truth.
Toprotect our Chula Vista children from drugs, crime, and simply bad example of citizenship, therefore, please have our anti-vagrancy laws enforced.
Let the "homeless" in Chula Vista experience prolonged "intimate" conditions in our jail cells. This will encourage these homeless persons to better themselves and not forever be dependent on bleeding hearts who enable homelessness.
Respectfully,
Andres Wong
Chula Vista Resident

Blue Water is owned by Dallin Young, the former head of the Association of Cannabis Professionals that worked with Grassroots Resources on cannabis ballot initiatives in local cities. Cardenas does not disclose the nature of the work or any of Blue Water's clients that Grassroots Resources may have represented. Another Grassroots client is Margin Victories, a political consulting firm owned by JehoanEspinoza, a local political consultant who has worked on various campaigns with Grassroots Resources, including last year's campaigns of Chula Vista Council members Jose Preciado and Carolina Chavez, who, together with Cardenas, now make up a majority of the Council. Margin Victories received payments of over $1.1 million last year from the SanDiego County Democratic Party for member communications campaigns in support of Preciado, Chavez, and Ammar Campa-Najjar, the losing candidate for Mayor in last year's election. During the 2022 elections, Margin Victories paid $205,000 to Grassroots Resources for work on the Chula Vista campaigns for Preciado, Chavez, and Campa- Najjar, as well as Chula Vista Elementary School District candidates. Margin Victories' Espinoza lived at the same address as Councilwoman Cardenas while he was running the campaigns for City Council candidates and while Margin Victories paid her company.
Cardenas has not disclosed any of Margin Victories' clients. Grassroots Resources also represented March & Ash, the largest cannabis company in San Diego. March & Ash owns two branded dispensaries in Chula Vista, and operates a third location run Written Communications

We make it very clear that we don' t tolerate encampments along our sidewalks, and we don' t tolerate other code violations such as being drunk in public or urinating in public or defecating in public,' Mayor Bailey said. ' We just simply don' t tolerate these basic code violations. What ends up happening is an individual either chooses to get help or they end up leaving.' Thecity leader went on to add that contributing to the ongoing homeless crisis - especially in California - are progressive leaders' failure to hold willingly homeless citizens accountable for their life choices.' Thefact of the matter is there, although there are a myriad of reasons that people end up homeless, they eventually only fall into two camps — those that want help and those that do not want help,' Bailey said.
And if those that are refusing to get help… shouldn' t be granted additional the ability to break laws such as tent encampments on the sidewalk or urinating or defecating in public.' "

Chula Vista City Council To Address Homeless Issue At Harborside Park People in Chula Vista gathered to discuss solutions for a homeless encampment at a park, right next to an elementary school. Families and homeless advocates both agree that closing down Harborside Park is not the solution. Parents say this will not keep homeless people away from being near the elementary school. https:// www.cbs8.com/ article/ news/local/ chula- vista-city-council- to-address-homeless- issue-at-harborside- park/509-dd641334-16df-467c-9165-847f6b45ed71

Dive deep into the heart of El Cajon's streets. Witness firsthand how our Special Enforcement Unit tirelessly offers support to the homeless, only to confront a harsh truth; freedom on the streets often outweighs the safety of shelters and the structure of transitional living. Hear directly from individuals who choose the streets despite a myriad of resources available. We all seek solutions, but when the laws we trust fall short, where do we stand?
