Description

Just woke up and left my house and the first thing that happened in the new year is that I encountered a severely mentally ill person who is behaving inappropriately, shouting obscenities, tried to avoid them, tried not to make eye contact but they noticed, and once you make eye contact they just get even worse. This is typical of the early morning routine around here and it’s very upsetting. It is possible to feel sorry for someone and care about them while also expecting them to behave and be accountable for their actions, they don’t cancel out.

    I want to hear the city/police's plan to help clean up our neighborhood, including inappropriate behavior in an area where neighbors and families traversing the area deserve to feel safe.less than a minute ago · Flag

Along with the repeated complaints, on SeeClickFix and elsewhere, re the sidewalk mess at the homeless hang and drug debris in/around the PortaPotty on Somerville Ave near the Porter Square T stop.In this new year, can we have a plan?What can we, as neighbors, residents do?
