Exactly. Dog parks and a soccer stadium. Then come october the mayor and his team will say ohhhh we need to clean up Abq for the balloon fiesta tourists coming here!!
Perhaps there is a bigger story we aren't being told. Is the city getting federal money for the "homeless" therefore they have no incentive to get them off the streets? I saw a news report something similar is happening in San Fransisco.
There cannot be a solution about specific areas, the bums will move to the next area. The bums need to be expunged. Zero tolerance for their _existence_ in town.
We need to STOP giving them money!!! These panhandlers can very easily get resources at NO COST. At the homeless shelters. Plus...they can get to these shelters by hopping on a ABQ Ride bus. Also, at no cost.
Elect Me in 2025 ! Let’s revitalize ABQ to it’s for my glory and stimulate economic development and not dive into culture wars and focus on the kitchen table issues!
Here is what needs done to solve a lot of Albuquerque's problems. Start with changing vagrancy, loitering, camping inside the city and drug use laws. Then go out to the west mesa and build a quonset hut type infirmary where people living on the streets, shooting drugs, panhandling etc get taken to spend a week or more. Let them go thru withdrawal with medical staff there and get cleaned up before the get released. The next time it happens they spend more time at the facility. Also arrest and prosecute the drug dealers who prey on the weak.
@@epicgamerXxX4evr No. This would be their very own place where falling down drunks and drug users, beggars, unemployed trouble makers and people who don’t want to help themselves can live so law abiding people don’t have to look at them and have them affect their businesses and home values. Social services can still help them survive if they want to. It’s a great idea.
Police don't arrest fentanyl dealers and addicts because they were told so. As long as you look homeless, you can do all sorts of crimes and police will not bother you at all. Even if police arrest them, woke judges just release them right away. You voted for "compassionate" liberal policies, and you get skyrocketing crime, so don't be surprised when your city is unlivable.
Oh my I just got a registered letter from the city telling me the sidewalk in front of my property must be repaired and I an responsible for payment of said repair. I will be repairing the sidewalk because it is required by city ordinance. Why does the city ignore the law enforcement requirements that we pay for. If my alarm is triggered the police don't respond but I still pay for the required alarm permit. We the people need to self govern there is strength in numbers and there are much more of is than of them. Its time to get down to buissem
We need a mayor who isn't a pride-parade-chasing soyboy, a governor who isn't a DNC supplicant, and a justice system that is not concerned with either punishment nor rehabilitation, but protecting the law abiding, tax paying, productive population.
@@KidCorporate You won't be talking so much smack once Mayor Harvey Dent has that accident that finally transform him into Two Face. $hit will get real, real quick.

We have to do something about the people supplying the drugs to the people we have to hit them where it hurts go to the source cuz these people supplying them do not care about these people they don't care if they die don't care if they live and the police need to act like they care and go out to these people really hard the life depend on it
What do you mean? Regulate the southern border. And tell Mexico to pay if they keep allowing illegal substances from China and other rival countries to cross their border into the USA.😮.
You may find it surprising enough this was around when Republicans were in power of the city and state a few election cycles ago. At least democrats are beginning to invest in solutions, more than what I could say for Republican counterparts.

You have to hit rock bottom and be tired of living like that. I'm a former herion user and it's hard but sometimes jail is the best for them. Jail saved my life
So, I don't understand how even four police officers patrol the international district and apparent drug use is visible....what no arrests? Yet if a person is pulled over with an open container they are arrested. Arrest the Drug users and lock them up....I do not understand the problem with doing just that.

Its sad because a lot of the homeless people I have talked to are from New Mexico and they are young too! Early 20s to Early 50s! A lot of them I talked too grew up in Espinola, grants, Belen where they grew up in families that were disfunctional! I women I talked to had parents that were in a gang in the mid 90s and she grew up in that and she was raped by her Cousin. New Mexico has generations of issues that are starting pile up in 2023!

Call it "Soylent Green Chile" and not only will the locals eat it, they will run smack about how much better it is than anything in the surrounding states.
ALBUQUERQUE needs a new mayor for sure. It is so sad that these businesses have had to deal with the homeless people. It is so nosad that more and more businesses are closing down for good because they don't get any type of help from anyone who works with the city
ACS: Here is some taxpayer funded food and water, keep hanging out and being shitheads If meth residue will total a car imagine what all that second hand freebasing happening right outside the door is doing
Wouldn't want to tread on the rights of the bums and junkies ... They are 'suffering' after all and deserve all the compassion we can muster. Don't deal with them ... put the tax paying business owners on notice that they just need to accept it, embrace it, even if it puts them out of business. And don't bother the Mayor ... he is such a busy man; he has cocktail parties to attend.
I can tell you right now that there aren't any drug dealers hanging out in an alley like that. He seems like a good man and it sucks he has to deal with that. I grew up on Palomas and Southern so I know how it can be there.
This is worst then the 80's and 90's with open drugs use in Albuquerque ho that this would be good in Albuquerque and with open border the drugs is the cheapest ever in history. The government failed us. I'm on Vermont SE and see everything for the a last 35 years
You can put all the cop you want but if the mayor doesn't Kerr about it and the governor also doesn't Kerr about what happened but for a vote for her. Crime first citizens second. She doesn't want to go after shooters but going after the public just let out killers on to the streets and the worst drugs problem ever that I've seen lost 4 friends to this junk politics.
The problems in Albuquerque are only going to get worse and worse. I feel for this business owner but he should either move or sell off, as they say get while the getting is good. The reason is simple and it has everything to do with the Mayor he is a Democrat and a modern liberal aka radical one at that. The problems that plague every Democratic city will eventually befell Albuquerque. Democrats are no longer Americans, they don’t believe in the USA as a Constitutional Republic that has the Rule of Law. Democrats want Socialism with them and them alone at the top directing the demise of America. People should while they still can vote them out of office at every single level. America has lost some of our greatest cities to the disease Democrats spread, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, Philadelphia DC and even New York. The list grows longer every day, the disease that Democrats spread is easy to see, it starts out of sheer ignorance and spreads to things like defunding police, no cash bail, prisoner early release, then the local laws are diminished. It starts with vagrancy, then looting, drug laws are relaxed next you see people moving into neighborhoods and starting homeless encampments and Democrats do nothing to end any of these radical policies. You do t see this in Texas or Florida or any other Republican state it’s the plague of the Democrats they are utter failures at and have been their entire life. These people are not Americans and if Albuquerque wants to remain a viable city in a purple state you need to recall your Mayor and elect a new city council or very soon your tow will look just like downtown in any other Democratic run city. In San Francisco it is the iconic downtown and waterfront areas totally devoid of any businesses, in Chicago it is the weekend tally of the number shot deaf or wounded by black gang members the city has been simply doing the accounting for now for over 2 decades. You look at downtown Philly and all you see are zombies drugged out of their mind standing, stooping or passed out on the sidewalks most just one shot away from the morgue and the city does nothing because the Mayor and city council are Democrats too ignorant to use common sense to fix the problems they themselves created. New York in an embarrassment on an international level, the flagship city of our great nation lost to the extreme radicals of the Democratic Party, Mayor after lunatic Mayor who everyday show the entire world their ignorance. Albuquerque needs to look around America, see the damage Democrats have done to our greatest cities and decide if you want your city to join the ranks of cities like San Francisco and others that will not make it back due to Democrats, remember Democrats are not Americans. Recall your mayor and city council before it’s too late.
Ya you can't blame homeless people but you can blame the mayor about the open drugs everywhere being used in front of the store and bus stop's and thinking is okay to do this in public. For to many years this is the problem with the mayor politics. Is not okay do do drugs everywhere around kid's waking around. My shop is in Vermont SE bye central.
My family makes a living off of this company for 3 generations that what we would do is go under like the rest of the jewelry makes. All over New Mexico. Order something you don't know what it is not New Mexico jewelry makers.
I need to know who they voted before I can feel sorry for them, if they voted for Biden and Keller then they are getting what they deserve if not I feel sympathy for them. Louisiana and Central is now called Kellerville 💩🕳️
What a stooooopid thing to say - the R's have NO solutions either - they didn't even run a serious candidate for mayor last election. Better to just stay on the sidelines and complain - no?
Haha yeah, cause it's not like this problem festered under Republican Berry as he dumped millions into a useless vanity project that cost many local businesses (ART).
American capitalism is the most brutal form of capitalism, homelessness and people opting out is just going to increase. Such a shame it inconveniences the continuation American capitalism…🥲
Fentanyl and Tranq horse tranquilizer destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Liberal policies speeded up the degradation of our neighborhoods, and you vited for them.
