Priority 03
Clean, Livable Streets
Deal honestly with homelessness and public drug use. People deserve clean neighborhoods — not managed decline.
Jonathan has watched open drug use and homelessness make daily life harder for regular people in this district — on sidewalks, in parks, outside the businesses our neighbors run.
His position, in his words:
Deal honestly with homelessness and public drug use. People deserve clean neighborhoods — not managed decline.
“Managed decline” is what it looks like when leaders decide a neighborhood’s problems are permanent and just work around them. Jonathan rejects that premise. LD26’s streets can be clean and livable again — if the people in charge stop accepting the alternative.
Jonathan's Plan
- Deal honestly with homelessness and public drug use - real intervention, not looking away.
- End "managed decline" as an acceptable outcome for any LD26 neighborhood.
- Stand with the residents and small businesses who live with the consequences every day.
