Because there has been an uptick in the number of homeless persons in Santa Monica, I would support increasing the intensity or type of City and non-profit services provided to homeless persons. I have no objection to the presence of sober living facilities in the City.
With the influx of the homeless from DTLA straight west we need to bolster our facilities for crisis management … This is a serious issue that must be addressed.

Yes. 2. DOES THE SOLUTION TO TRAFFIC REQUIRE LIFE BE MADE EASIER OR MORE DIFFICULT FOR DRIVERS?
That depends who is driving the cars and the circumstances for travel in Santa Monica. 3. DOES THE CITY HAVE TOO MANY ALCOHOL OUTLETS AND SHOULD THERE BE STRONGER LIMITS ON ACQUIRING ALCOHOL LICENSES?

I believe that is a population-based law, in which case there may be blurred lines based on the day-only population increase of 200k vs. the actual 91k that reside here. Have you seen how expensive it is to get a
