City includes "van lifers" in homeless count

 Julie Graboi at Encinitas Votes:

I attended the August 17 Homeless Action Plan and had wanted to share some observations and concerns during Oral Communications at tonight's City Council Meeting. However, starting tonight, a new policy requires speakers to register by 2:00 and send their oral comments into the city by 3:00. Therefore, I will be sharing some concerns here instead. After LeSar principal consultant Nui Bezairewas asked if "van lifers" were counted as homeless, she would not answer this simple yes/no question. I emailed this question to Encinitas Planner Jennifer Gates and spoke with her a few minutes ago. She gave a similarly evasive answer that "it is defined by policy." After pressing her, the answer is that YES. Why should people who are making this life style choice and often have expensive vans that they consider their homes they be counted as homeless? Not only do they consider their vans their homes, but they have no intention of moving into the housing that the city is proposing that Encinitas provides for them!

  1. Cool. Cool. Cool.

    Let’s shut it down and give the evicted a map to park in front of Julie’s house.

    I hear you could eat off the sidewalk over there.

    2. 1:08 comments are fact. So when someone is living in their car in front of your house, tell them that Tony's neighborhood welcomes them and is more accommodating, give them Tony's address and encourage them to move to Tony and Blakespear's neighborhoods for $5 dollars. They voted it in, and they can feel the joy. Fricken idiots.

  3. People in cars and vans can park and live on ALL public streets now because Tony Kranz has passed a resolution to make it legal to do so! While it is mostly an issue on the coast and within several Encinitas parks where homeless park their vans and take over picnic tables with their belongings, they can now legally park and live in front of anyone's house. Remember this in November!

    1. Good. Let Bannon rot in Federal prison. There is more white collar crime than any other crime. Like Killary having 300 top secret documents on her home computer. Like the Clinton Foundation collecting $5 billion for earthquake relief for Haiti and not distributing a dime. White collar crime, meanwhile if you jaywalk the cops toss you to the ground and put you in handcuffs....

    2. At this point, it would be easier to list the people around Trump who aren’t either convicted, indicted, or under criminal investigation.

      Comparisons to the Obama administration are welcome.

      ZERO criminal indictments.

      Although, who can forgive Tan Suit-gate, Terrorist Fist Bump-gate, and of course, Dijon Mustard-gate.

    3. You want comparisons?? How's this, a little something called Fast and Furious, in which the Obama administration SOLD high caliber automatic weapons to Mexican drug cartels and those weapons were used to kill a DEA agent. A trivial little matter to you?? Okay, how about leaving an American Ambassador to die in Libya?? But black Jesus is free from all liability.
      Fact: No American President is as good as his supporters believe nor as bad as his detractors wish.

    4. Wow.

      That sounds terrible.

      Not 170,000 dead Americans bad, but still bad.

      Question: how many people has the Trump-controlled justice department prosecuted for those events in the last 3.5 years?

      Follow-up question: If the answer is a big fat goose egg, then who would ever vote for an administration that either through malice or sheer incompetence has allowed the guilty to go free?

    5. Neither the Mexican gun sales nor the Benghazi tragedy went down quite as 12:43 misinterprets them, but even if they did they pale in comparison to what Trump and his lackeys have done in the past nearly four years. If justice still exists in America, Trump will eventually go to prison.

    8. "No wonder Julie Thunder is working so hard to mislead voters about her partisan ideology," says 7:29. Julie Thunder hasn't spent a day in office yet has a partisan ideology. Hilarious! It's pretty clear there is a toxic partisan ideology at city hall, and it is called our current city council.

  6. Is the reason that you pay taxes on a million-dollar home so that you can go outside and have someone living in a car in front of your house? Thanks to Tony Kranz and the rest of this council, you con't do anything about it.

    1. So you are saying that having more money justifies moving the homeless to somewhere with less money.

      You said “million dollar” houses.

      Delete
    4. Some who live in million dollar homes, like Tony Kranz, did not himself work to earn his home. A sizable number in Encinitas inherited their property. My point is that residents are paying a lot of taxes to keep this city funded either as owners, renters, or in the case of Blakespear and Kellie, their family members shoulder their share. It does not seem too much to ask that people on council make decisions to keep our community safe. About 40% of Enciitas residents are over the age of 50, and there are quite a number of people with young children who moved here specifically because it used to offer safe parks and a higher quality of enjoyment for its residents. I know that I would not feel safe having people living in their vehicles outside of my house. My friends with children no longer feel safe letting their kids have the freedom that was once available to Encinitas kids to walk to the YMCA or use the park. I am voting for the candidates who support residents first.

  14. Another example of the Republican racism problem.

    Why does FoxNews.com have to turn off comments on stories relating to race?

    The obvious answer is that they know their audience is filled with racists. The executives are happy to pander to racists and use them for clicks and advertising dollars, but they are still horrified and ashamed of you. Shutting down comments on news stories about racial issues allows them a tiny fig leaf to pretend their brand isn’t associated with the unwashed, uneducated and racist hoards.

    They are ashamed of you. They are disgusted by you.

  21. I currently have two vans parked on my street, each with a recently displaced middle aged man living in it. How do I know they are recently displaced? Because I treat them like human beings and check up on them. When it's 94 degrees outside I invite them to take a lawn chair in the shade of my tree. I bring them water and let them use my trash can when they clean out their new "homes." I provide them info on the CRC and food pantries. I invited them to worship at my church, where they were welcomed, able to get cleaned up, and not be treated like pariahs for a couple of hours a week.

    In short, I treat them like humans, not some labeled and dehumanized "other." If not for COVID I'd do more for them.

    Try obsessing a bit less on your wealth and property and a bit more on the least of your brothers.

    So suck it up you NIMBY-assed Richie Riches. Act like you give a shit about anyone but yourselves. In a couple of months you'll no doubt know someone who recently became homeless due to job loss or medical bills. Things are going to get worse, how bad will depend on how many of you insist on being selfish assholes...or worse.

There is a time and a place and a way to help others, and inviting homeless folks into your life is, quite frankly, naive and ill-advised. Although I am a fan of social services for the homeless, I am absolutely against having people who are living in their vehicles park on the streets of Encinitas. And anyone who pushes for street parking for the homeless is selfishly putting their own feelings of guilt and desire for self-flagellation above the good of the existing community.

    1. Sure.

      1.) He may not have a Billion dollars. He’s under criminal investigation in the state of NY right now for inflating the value of his assets to defraud banks into lending him more money. His whole branding and ability to make any money at all lies in a facade that he’s wealthy and successful, but the facade is crumbling. We will eventually know the truth of his net worth.

      2.) He started with about $100M in loans, gifts, and inheritance of family money. On average an S&P 500 index fund will double about every 7 years. When we learn his true net worth, I’m confident we will learn that his business acumen over the long run actually lost him money relative to sticking it in a boring Vanguard fund. Choosing the road he did probably got him laid more, but he’s probably also going to see jail time after office for bank fraud and tax evasion.

      Hope this helps.
