[Neighbors] TENTS in our Nob Hill ALLEYS, is this what you all want?

[Mike P.]

Dear Nob Hill neighbors,


This is just nonsense.  My friend sent me this photo.  The homeless are now
pitching TENTS in our alleys in Nob Hill! I told all of you this would
happen if our neighborhood association wasn’t more diligent about this
issue.  And now it is happening.  This is not the only one we've seen.



This tent/encampment is on Tulane, SE, in the 300 block in the alley.  It
seems some of us do not understand safety and property values.  It’s
stunning to my wife and I how little we are doing as a neighborhood
association.  Do some of you not understand that no one will buy a home if
a crazy deranged homeless person is “camping” in their alley? (And we need
more young families to move here, we don't need to scare them away).  Or
that you will not be able to sell to anyone once they discover a homeless
nut is in a tent in their alley? Who is going to move into that house with
young kids?  Let’s talk safety.  Do you want alleys filled with crazy
people on meth looking in your yard for things to steal?  Do you want drug
paraphernalia and human waste near your home?  Do you want your kids to
walk near this?  We do not.



I have received several emails from neighbors who wish to remain private
that they share my concerns. Unfortunately, the Nob Hill Neighborhood
Association is not going to help fix this issue. However, I did receive an
email from NHNA about an “event” for a church that is luring these people
CLOSER to Nob Hill with “goodie bags.”  I really think some of the
leadership of our neighborhood association needs to acknowledge they are
not up to the task of handling our homeless issue in Nob Hill and step
aside.  Just like Biden, for the good our of neighborhood.  Seriously,
thank you but please, get out of the way before our neighborhood is ruined.
 We have lived here several years and not one time have we seen our
neighborhood association president walking around, introducing themselves,
asking about concerns, walking the alleys to make sure all is well.  They
should be doing that.  Our President should be walking our neighborhood and
reporting any tents.  They are not.  It can be done with both firmness (no,
you're not setting up your tent here, period) and compassion (here are ALL
the city services to help you).



So the city is not coming to save our homes and neighborhood.  Our
neighborhood association is not doing anything to put a stop to the ruining
of our neighborhood.  So I would suggest, when you see these tents pop up
take them down!  Go out there with garbage bags and remove them.  Do not
create a confrontation, if someone is there, call ACS/the police, but if no
one is there, we’ll be taking them down if they ever get to our alley.  We
have a right to protect our home values.  We have a right to protect our
safety.  They WILL turn our neighborhood, our beautiful historic
neighborhood, into a disaster in the blink of an eye.  Please care about
our properties and our safety. Report tents (that are anywhere in our
neighborhood) and suspicious behavior to the police.



Thank you,



Mike P.
