We the tax paying citizens of Saint Augustine find that our city government has not done enough to protect us from panhandlers, vagrants, and their negative consequences. We are watching our businesses suffer, our city be destroyed, and see no leadership or even communication about the issue. We as homeowners and business owners are being given no resources or support even though the city management has referred to this as a CRISIS. We see drug deals happening in the open, people passed out in the street, people openly drunk and high, and feces and urine all over our properties. Everyone signing here has in some way been affected by the issue and believes that the city has not done enough to address it. Maybe by banding together you will finally listen to us and DO SOMETHING. We demand action, communication, and leadership. Why are there no police walking downtown every single day? Why has the city not reached out and spoken to the business owners about how they are suffering? Why is there no hotline set up to call? Where are the cameras to see the issues we see EVERY SINGLE DAY? We will no longer stay silent on this issue and wait for you to FINALLY stand up and do something. We DEMAND to be heard and respected.
