I am surprised they addressed this call. A couple of months ago I called about a fire where ironically, there was a bigger fire in Antioch off Country Hills Rd and behind Barnes and Noble. Our “great” first responder whom I spoke to basically told me to go suck it, the state allowed these fires to happen, and the fire dept did not have to respond to them… *click – hung up. Tell me I am wrong.
Homeless or unhoused? I cant keep track anymore.
Unhoused, and you already know that. KEEP UP or DONT COMMENT!
Why dont you house them with you them Susan? That way you can coddle them and tell them how great they are.
