Meeting: City Council Meeting Item: 8. 20-0195 PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED for May 12, 2020 eComment: I noticed from your budget meeting that legal marijuana businesses may be approved by FALL of 2020.And many are asking oEoewhy forge ahead?'OE when health officials consistently warn that marijuana is immunosuppressive, causes lung disease and invites infection. This is the last thing we need now. Your actions disappoint all who strive to create a healthy, normal environment for raising children--one unencumbered by the threat and enticement of readily available addictive drugs. *ETMve yet to hear anyone on council speak out for kids. Chula Vista has a high Latino youth population, often at risk. Our first priority should be to ensure that the social environment works in their favor. A community that normalizes psychoactive drug use by allowing widespread pot businesses, does not. Nor do these businesses promote public health. My friend, a teacher in the Latino community, said ®€ceNothing is worse for local families than the normalization of marijuana.®€ Please reconsider your rush to promote and ingrain this industry here. Thank you.

Meeting: City Council Meeting Item: 8. 20-0195 PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED for May 12, 2020 eComment: In regards to the construction of the homeless bridge shelter in Chula Vista, I would like to voice support. I believe it is important to provide a social safety net for housing, and giving those who may be down on their luck an avenue to reestablishing a socially productive way of life. Where my point of contention lies is in the proposed placement. Why does it seem like the west side of the city, specifically the southwest side, is treated with less care and attention than other parts of the city? It is already our most impoverished district, and we would just be adding fuel to the fire. I propose finding a site somewhere in the far east part of the city. The layout makes it more difficult for those in the shelter to leave, and there is less of an established street homeless population to entice them into old habits and lifestyles. No encampments, more difficult to find drugs, less places to hide out, more community resources allocated towards cleanliness of parks,etc. I challenge Councilmembers Galvez and Diaz to take a real stand for their districts, acknowledge the lack of balance between the west and east sides of the city, and fight to do what is right for the homeless as well as the people of west Chula Vista who are tired of being a dumping ground.

Meeting: City Council Meeting Item: 8. 20-0195 PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED for May 12, 2020 eComment: Why the city of San Diego wants to send a problem they can't handle to Chula Vista? Chula Vista already has so many problems and adding a new one won't us at all. View and Analyze eComments Z"his e nnaii v:as sent f;om httl)s://granicusideas.com.

Meeting: City Council Meeting Item: 8. 20-0195 PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED for May 12, 2020 eComment: The city of San Diego has been much more successful in eliminating illegal pot shops. They focus on going after the owners of the property not the people running the businesses. Why doesn't the city pass a satisfactory ordinance similar to San Diego's to go after the property owners, so that we don't have 16 active illegal businesses in just the southwest- District 4? What is being done, or not done now is utterly useless. If this problem was in the east- not likely due to the lack of commercial and industrial zoning with appropriate buildings due to foolish zone changes-we would not be have such a huge problem, since it would not be tolerated.Also if police have closed down 12 in April all but 1 must have been in District 2. We lost one and gained 2 in District 4 since April. View and Analyze eComments Ti is ema i ^as sent from https:/4qranicusideas.com. Unsubscribe from future mailincs
