Blue Ribbon Committee starts

Modesto's Blue Ribbon Committee on homelessness issues begins tonight. I just want to wish the committee good luck and give hope that this issue can be tackled effectively with care and good thought. This blog chronicled the issues at Enslen Park with the homeless but has sort of transitioned to that of vagrancy. The problems started with the homeless and their issues and again as time has passed I have learned that most of the "residents" take care of issues in-house but are left to deal with the more dangerous vagrants that feel these city parks are theirs to mess up. I am only knowledgable on what happens at Enslen park, and not the others like Tower and Ralston Parks from what I read. Maybe it is more of a homeless issue at those and other city parks. Whatever the case, I hope fair solutions can be accomplished.
