DERRICK TOWNSEND RUNNING FOR SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL. We continue to see Endless funding for the homeless, motels and hotels without treatment, and agencies that don’t care about their well being, yet their contracts are renewed. We need treatment first and outcome based funding.

Yes! We should prioritize Santa Monica residents, especially our elderly and disabled. We can't absorb the rest of the country's problems. Roughly 80 to 90% of our homeless arrived from elsewhere in LA County or out of state.

How did the idiots pick Santa Monica of all places to run down? It used to be our favorite place to stay while in Southern California. Now we go further south. Don’t tell anyone, I don’t want Laguna Beach destroyed next.
