I posted in the weather thread about a homeless woman having to be rescued from a drainage channel near my house. I see homeless almost every day down in that channel.

This closely on the heels of having to clear a big grove of trees near the Oklahoma River due to a big homeless camp that was generating tons of trash with a lot of it ended up in the inlet.

Yesterday, when I was taking photos at Mayfair, several homeless passed by. I see scores of them every time I walk in that area. Same with the 39th street LGBTQ district and of course I-44 & Penn.


This city has a huge and growing homeless problem and it seems to be spreading. I've seen them camping near Memorial Road and not long ago there was a camp behind Chipotle across from Baptist Hospital.

I know we have some MAPS money allocated for the homeless but it seems like things are rapidly getting out of control.
