Description
This filth is getting worse. it's just disgusting. he leaves his garbage. covers an entire bench with blankets and pillows then he leaves. No. He can stay. But let's get the mess removed. Really tired of looking at it now. Homelessness is not illegal. But littering and squatting is illegal. Please enforce the law.
