“I filled more than a 5-gallon bucket of items from the weekend: used condoms, liquor bottles, one of which was shattered across the side of our building, used feminine products, drug paraphernalia of every form and fashion, food wrappers, food waste, and at— and last but not least, 4 piles of used toilet paper.”

From the transcript

Since the opening of Linda's Place in September of 2025, the overall crime, harassment, and vagrancy has elevated exponentially. Things that our business has experienced since the opening of Linda's Place has our front entrance doors being smashed in, customers, employees, and vendors being threatened with weapons, break-ins to our business, break-ins to vehicles and equipment on the property, vandalism, encounters of sexual acts and pro— and prostitution. And my favorite part is the daily cleanup of those things that come to and from Linda's Place today. I filled more than a 5-gallon bucket of items from the weekend: used condoms, liquor bottles, one of which was shattered across the side of our building, used feminine products, drug paraphernalia of every form and fashion, food wrappers, food waste, and at— and last but not least, 4 piles of used toilet paper.
