You all are now starting to understand what I’ve been trying to tell you : the codes department only issue violations to people who can pay. The codes department is a cash cow for the city. They are not actually going to address any problems merely to help the citizens or enforce rules if there is no money to be made.

I called the police on Joe since he has been sleeping in the right of way. The officer said Joe has been there since he has been in St Pete, he has been working in St Pete for ten years. I pay taxes to live here, camping wherever we please is not allowed. This individual has been given opportunities to better his life but continues to thumb his nose at city ordinances and it’s residents. It is time for St Pete and our major to hear its citizens!

Don’t let them try to tell you he’s too psychologically compromised to better himself. I overheard him talking with people on his master plan of moving from one spot to another because he knows all the police patrols. He clearly knows what he’s doing !

They removed my comment... I guess I pi$ someone off.

They removed my comment as well when I said “I had sent a link to this forum to the Tampa Bay Times since this is a perfect investigative reporting issue that they would love to splash all over their front page.”

Clearly the people at the mayors office can see what we all see in that there’s growing unrest south of the city because the mayor and his staff are only concerned with Beach Drive and anything that is north of the city. And they’re not going to continue to let us use this forum to communicate with each other so that we might eventually join ranks and actually get the help we need here south of the city. In other words by removing our comments they are preventing us from joining forces. I believe it’s called censorship?

Just a heads up for those who don't know... If an issues gets more than 10 comments it is escalated to a higher level. But those who control this page might be aware of that so by removing some comments it keeps it under ten. Who knows how many times this has been done in the past? ...The Shadow Knows. LOL

Go to your 'My Content' on your own Icon top right of this or any page and see articles you have posted and all those with ten or more have a 'Flame' next to it. Jus Sayin

Well here's the tenth comment, lets stop having 3rd street and URINE CENTRAL. We cannot let Joe storage jugs or URINE ON 3RD STREET S

The city must do something now

Again we wait while the eat donuts, talk at the water cooler etc.

NOA pampers him bringing him food and drink.
I drive by a month ago someone in a small pickup stopped by with a large half empty bottle of whiskey. Had to give joe the rest.
Joe is being wined and dined by a bunch a “do gooders” that are certainly not helping him or our neighbors.
10 years plus is too long for a nomad to be at this corner. Surely the city could be smarter than this situation.

Still the city is paralyzed with their inability to solve the codes and ordinance violations. Not they are unable/unwilling to perform their job

Wow the city is really doing their job, 2 weeks and they cant seem to find enough time to even acknowledge the issue. Wow just wow

Screen grabs of this lack of acknowledgement... time to contact the local news and let them know how one homeless man can run the show and the inability of the city to enforce the ordinances south of central. Hmm. Wonder why south st Pete is treated differently than Snell or the old north east? I wonder

I was just down the street and noticed a homeless man was standing there naked near the sculpture in Poynter park nearby. No one will do anything until someone is harmed by these.

Still nothing from the city...

Nope city is not looking again

Still no acknowledgement by our fine fellow city officials. Nontaxable dollars to collect here. So that equals sit on your rump time for our desk jockies

The weeds are growing around him. Guess we won’t be able to see him anymore

I once heard of a problem like this in California using plastic jugs for urinals. Since they allowed (by law) the homeless to live on the streets. The city began placing Port-A-Potty's (PAP) on every corner. A few of the units (40%) were also used for privacy to shoot up, inject, ingest and snort drugs. Of course the PAP's did cost the taxpayers a lot of money, but the 'liberals' were very happy that they could throw (tax payers) money at a problem and that made them feel better. If ALL of you on this post have an empty container and fill it with lemonade... Just start leaving them on the sidewalks at locations you think are best. Of course this does not include in front of City Hall and other similar places.
