SANTA MONICA, Calif. (KABC) — Hoping to call attention to crime and homelessness, business leaders have put up a sign saying “Santa Monica is not safe” near that city’s popular Third Street Promenade.

The business leaders and activists who put up the sign say they are fed up with what they describe as the city’s inaction on worsening problems.

They say they wanted to put the message out in the heart of the popular tourist destination to share their dissatisfaction with what they call “continued neglect.”

In full the sign reads: “Santa Monica is not safe. Crime … depravity … outdoor mental asylum.”

John Alle, a local property owner who led the effort, said additional signs are planned for other parts of the city.

Eyewitness News reached out to the city for a response and has not yet heard back.

Desperation met stupidity on the corner of bad luck and despair, and the democratic party was born.

across America there is a beggar on every corner.  many states are approving marijuana.  inflation has soared. Border is wide open.  and no answers, besides send money to other countries.

Lets hear your answers?  Instead of the incessant complaining, how about some form of solution? Republicants LOVE to whine about everything, but offer very little in the form of solutions.

The US is in dire condition. Inflation is through the roof, shortages, Christmas ruined, crime is soaring, but the left has to make their monthly payment to Ukraine so Zelensky's  wife can go shopping and drop thousands of dollars at a time.
