A chronicle by the Santa Monica Coalition of the truth about life on our streets
Santa Monica's City Council thinks the city is just fine. One councilmember called the homeless residents our neighbors, their wants and desires equivalent to those of people who pay rent and pay taxes. The 'freedom' of some, most of whom suffer from drug addiction and mental illness, to live in filth, disease and to commit crimes with impunity, is valued over the ability of the rest of society to live healthy lives in law and order.
Watch the videos shot and distributed by the Santa Monica Coalition, a different one each day, to see what is actually happening in a city that is no longer a magnet for tourists and shoppers.
The Santa Monica Coalition is a movement comprised of Santa Monica residents, business owners, and locals that addresses the humanitarian crisis, public safety concerns, the rising crime, and the current lack of responsiveness from the City of Santa Monica.

Do you think these persons and others on SANTA MONICA's sidewalks and parks, all of whom told us they were on meth and/or fentanyl, and who cannot hold a job due to their poor choices, will EVER be a tenant in the proposed building OR, select “free rent and free needles” in one of SANTA MONICA parks or storefronts? How many “low-cost” housing units are there in each of SANTA MONICA's dense new development monstrosities?

The promenade should be filled with people shopping and eating but it's a ghost town! So sad how they have ruined our Santa Monica!

I've been reading the Observer for years. I've come to like these daily crime videos. The other items I can see in many sites, but this is great.
