My property which held back the dirt, which he called the planter box, and there was a channel in between here which was filled with concrete, i believe, in 20102011 by his predecessor, who had the same leak that the appellant had last year. And i, unfortunately, allowed that neighbor to fill that channel with concrete. He claimed that that would stop his leak. And when inspector duffy came, the notice of violation was because we no longer had this air gap, so the original plan was to remove the concrete that had been poured by his predecessor. Obviously, the appellant did not like that course of action. He wanted me to try to fix his leak. We finally decided to go ahead and remove the planter box. I asked inspector duffy to come back again and discussed to him the plan, and he confirmed, again, that it was considered landscaping and a permit was not required.

The persistence of homelessness is a problem of political will until the public understands the city needs to invest in housing, this problem is going to continue. I think we need the Police Department to educate constituents about this instead of saying police can get people into services or perpetuating the idea the members of the public have that polices is the solution, it is crucial to be honest with the public. President turman is the Police Department perpetuating that idea . Are we telling the people that policing the homeless is what we are here for, we can get you into these services . That is not us.
