I AM POWERFUL -sandra mickanen imagining
in my imagination [after YEARS of very real efforts by so many, getting nowhere]
in my imagination, i just walk over,
"get this SH*& cleaned up! -yesterday!
have someone come get these... this... that guy sleeping over there in the middle of the parking lot
have someone come get all the loiterers off this property
get them to dignity acres emergency campground where they can shower & sh*& and eat like a civilized human being, until we figure out the next thing to do...
get some security guards here.. NO LOITERING, NO TRESPASSING, NO DRUGS, NO BEGGING, NO STEALING, NO THREATENING, NO PANHANDLING, NO LITTERING!!
-have animal control come get these stray dogs..
let's get this place cleaned up already!
have someone power wash the SH*& off these sidewalks...
get a crew to clean up the litter...
get this landscaping back in order...
cover up that vandalism.. paint over that gang graffiti..
and i just walk and point out the obvious, and bark orders..
and things get done.
dignity acres emergency campground, in my imagination, is already built and functioning..
this gives law enforcement and social workers a place to bring every single loiterer, panhandler, beggar, passed-out drug addict, mentally ill, delinquent...
and allows our shopping plazas, parks, neighborhoods to return to SAFE & CIVILIZED
I STILL cannot believe, in San Jose, California, of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
in 2026...
2026!!
store owners are still having to clean up human pee & feces off the sidewalks before they can open their stores..
and can't believe i have to step over a passed out drug addict in order to get inside a store..
or look at broken, cement walls, litter, trash, graffiti, broken down cars, vans..
and despite the pictures, calls, letters, emails, open mics at city council meetings, in person talk-to's at farmers markets with council members..
despite YEARS worth of efforts by the citizens...
NOTHING.
it is, in fact, by the leaders, by the owners... it is being normalized and ignored.
****
which is why...
WE LOVE SPENCER PRATT!!
