"When the pandemic kicked off, it got really bad. I think the thing now is it’s just more dangerous," neighbor William Lyman said.
"Dangerous" and "out of control” is how some North Park homeowners describe an apparent explosion of homeless encampments near the freeway. Homeowners tell NBC 7 the situation is so bad, the city needs to step in.
It's almost impossible to drive down a highway in San Diego County anymore and not see tents, piles of trash and people living along the freeway.
Lee has lived in North Park for more than a decade and said she's never seen it this bad.
