I think they need to implement a 10pm curfew for minors and a 1:00am curfew for adults the only way you’re on Columbia streets is if you are at work or traveling to or from work. And the parents of minors caught out after the curfew should have steep penalties up to even jail.
I am a former resident of Columbia. I now live near Tulsa. Tulsa has set a curfew downtown for minors. It's sad that government has to assume the responsibilities of absent or clueless parents!
They should explore curfews, but I can guess that Columbia will hire outside consultants for $200,000, create a committee to design signage (lbtgq++ approved, of course). Then figure out without real consequences, curfews just scatter the cockroaches to somewhere else in Columbia.
The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......
We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.
If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..

ReplyIf you don't have any form of employment you should be subject to a curfew.
ReplyIf you need to poll this question, then you're clueless.
