text: The Alleva family has suffered because of the "homeless".  These people come in and trashed the area. They fight with each other they harass folks passing by, they frighten most people. This is because the majority of them are outlaws. I served on a grand jury a couple years ago and I would guess 75% of the cases we heard over the course of our four month term were somehow tied to beans cafe or the Francis shelter. If we have that many criminal cases tied to these two places there is a problem. And here is one more perspective, most of the outlaws living in tents or under tarps are probably banned from the shelter because they can't follow the shelter rules. (Do you see a pattern here, outlaws who can't follow rules.)
  
  Quit cuddling these people and make them earn their keep. All you who hand money out your window at the stop light are just feeding their addiction. It may make you feel warm and fuzzy but it makes the outlaws on the corner feel drunk or high. 
  
  Clean up our streets!
